Adjusting Your Schedule
Students are responsible for adding, dropping, and withdrawing from courses. This includes the completion and submission of Course Add/Drop forms to the Office of the Registrar. The day on which the Office of the Registrar receives the Course Add/Drop form is the official drop date. To avoid a failing grade, students must drop any courses not attended. Students who receive federal financial aid funding should check with the Office of Financial Aid prior to making any changes in course registration for the semester. For purposes of determining the refund, the official date of course drop/withdrawal or university withdrawal, is the day upon which completed course drop or withdrawal forms are received in the Office of the Registrar. Emails, phone calls, or no longer attending class do not constitute a proper withdrawal from class. The required Course Drop form must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
