Adding and/or Dropping Classes
Students may drop and/or add classes within the first ten days of the semester without receiving a grade, charge, or a “W” on their transcript. The class schedule that is in place after the ten-day drop/add period will be the class schedule charged out by the Business Office. No tuition refunds, other than government-mandated ones, will be paid after that date. Classes that run only eight weeks have a five day rather than a ten day drop/add deadline. A $5 fee is charged for a change made after these deadlines. Classes added beyond these deadlines require approval of the Undergraduate Dean.
Students may withdraw from a course without receiving a grade until 60% of the length of the course has been completed, however, there will be a $5 fee and a “W” will appear on the transcript. After this period a student may not withdraw from a course unless there exist reasons clearly beyond the control of the student, and the student has petitioned the Undergraduate Dean for approval to withdraw.
Students who do not withdraw by the deadline will receive a grade for the course in accordance with their performance in the course. Students who stop attending a class without officially dropping will receive a failing (F) grade.
