Important Information to Know
As you prepare for the first-semester, it is a necessity to know how you can add, drop, and withdraw from classes. Please follow the links at the end of this page to learn more! It is also important to keep track of academic deadlines should you need to add, drop, or withdraw classes. For more information, visit Academic Calendar Dates and Deadlines.
- It is important that you consult with your advisor to ensure you are adding the appropriate classes needed for the upcoming semester.
- You may continue to add classes after the first day of classroom instruction up until the last date to register or waitlist without a permission number as listed on the semester academic calendar.
- Dropping a class is a simple process and can be done before the tenth day of the semester.
- If a regular-session class after the tenth day of the semester is dropped, the class grade will show up on your transcript as a W (withdrawal). Grades of W will not be used in GPA calculation.
- Students may accrue up to ten (10) withdrawals for a baccalaureate degree and up to five (5) for an associate degree. Any “W’s” received in an associate degree program count toward the 10 allowed for the baccalaureate degree program.
