The addition or substitution of courses is permitted only during
the first five class days of the term. Courses may be dropped, without
penalty, until the end of the eighth week of the term.
Exceptions
to the deadline for dropping courses can be made only by the Committee
on Scholastic Standing. Petition forms for this purpose may be obtained
from the Office for Student Development (second floor, Armitage
Hall). Completed forms must be received in the Office for Student
Development not later than one week before the end of the term. When the
reason for the petition involves personal problems, it is expected that
students will have discussed the problems with a dean in the Office for
Student Development before the closing one-week period. Petitions are
granted by the committee only when serious personal problems have
developed after the stipulated penalty-free drop period and the
problems are confirmed by the Office for Student Development.
No course may be dropped during the last week of class.
