Students MUST complete the procedures outlined below and file an official change of schedule form in order to change their registrations. Failure to attend class does NOT constitute a drop and does NOT cancel the student's registration or his/her obligation to pay all tuition and related fees for the course.
Fall and Spring Semesters
Students may adjust their schedules (drop and/or add classes) using WebEASI through the first week of the semester (until 5:00 pm on Friday). After the first week of the semester, students must obtain a Drop/Add form from the Registrar's Office, have the instructor sign the form and return it to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student dropping a course after the first week of a semester and any time prior to the end of the 9th week of that semester will be awarded a "W". For courses of duration other than an entire semester, a student dropping a course after the first day of the class and any time prior to the end of the mid-point of the class duration (e.g., the end of the 4th week of an 8-week course) will be awarded a "W". The "W" will appear on the student's grade report and transcript.
Summer - Adding a class
Students may adjust their schedules (drop and/or add classes) using WebEASI through the Saturday before the summer term begins. After that date, students may continue to ADD classes using WebEASI through the beginning date of the class. By the second day of class, students need to obtain the signature of the instructor on a drop/add form. Starting the 3rd day of class, students need to obtain signatures of the Instructor, Department Chair and Dean of the College on a drop/add form. Drop/add forms must be returned to the Registrar's Office for processing.
Students may not enroll in a class past the mid-point of the class. Classes designated " To Be Arranged" may be added up to the mid-point of the class with the Instructor's signature on a drop/add form presented to the Registrar's Office for processing.
NOTE: At the point WebEASI confirms registration in a course, the student is considered officially enrolled. Failure to attend class does not constitute withdrawal from the class, nor does it absolve the student from making complete payment for all tuition and related fees associated with that course. Students who choose not to attend, MUST follow the procedures described in "Change of Schedule - Drop/Add" to drop a course.
Summer - Dropping a Class
After the start of the summer term, but prior to the beginning date of class, students may FAX, mail or present a drop form with the student's signature to the Registrar's Office for processing.
After the start date of a summer class, students must provide a drop form with the Instructor's signature to the Registrar's Office in order to drop the class. Classes cannot be dropped after the mid-point of the class.
Students will receive a "W" on their transcript (which indicates a withdrawal) for classes dropped after the start of the Summer term.
A failing grade (F) will be reported if a student stops attending class and neither officially withdraws from the course prior to the appropriate deadline nor establishes, prior to the end of the term and to the satisfaction of the instructor, that extenuating circumstances prevented completion of the course. If the instructor determines that such extenuating circumstances were present, an "I" (Incomplete) may be recorded on the student's grade report and transcript.
A student may not withdraw from a course AFTER THE mid-point of the class unless highly unusual, extenuating circumstances (beyond the student's control) are established to the satisfaction of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs.
NOTE: To drop a class students must follow procedures outlined above. Failure to attend class does not constitute a drop and does not cancel the student's registration or his/her obligation to pay all tuition and related fees for the course.
A student may not withdraw from a course after the course has ended or the semester/session in which the course was taken has ended.
