After the initial course registration, students may adjust their course selection during all-school adjustment periods, or during drop/add in the first week of fall or spring classes. Summer Semesters do not have an add/drop period, but students may drop a summer course on the first day of class without the course appearing on their transcript as a withdrawal. After that, the only way to change one’s schedule is by withdrawal from a course, permitted through the 12th week of classes in fall/spring semesters, and through the second to last day of class in summer semesters. Failure to attend classes or to participate in online work does not constitute a withdrawal – a timely, formal request is required. Students must submit the electronic Withdraw from a Course form found on the Registrar’s webpage. In fall/spring semesters, students are not permitted to withdraw from more than one course if this changes their status to that of a part-time student, carrying fewer than 12 credit hours. Students should be aware that withdrawing from a course or registering for fewer than 15 credits will necessitate summer, intersession, or additional fall/spring courses in order to graduate, which adds to the overall cost of a completed degree.
