Adding and Dropping Courses


 
a. A course may be added without obtaining approval during the first week of class. Thereafter, a student may add a course only with the permission of the instructor and dean. Classes missed by late addition of a course to a student's semester registration will be treated as unexcused absences. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes they are considering adding.

b. An upper-class student may withdraw from a course without approval only through the add/drop period. Thereafter, a student may only withdraw from a course with the permission of the dean.

c. A student may not withdraw from a required course except under extraordinary circumstances, with the approval of the dean. Withdrawal from any required class will usually be permitted only upon withdrawal from all classes for that semester.

d. After the second week of class (the add/drop period), the transcripts of students who withdraw from a course will reflect the grade of W.

e. For the Summer Session no classes may be added after the second meeting of the class without the permission of the instructor, and once classes begin, a grade of W will appear on a student's transcript for any class from which the student withdraws.
