Add/Drop/Withdraw Procedures

M.A.T., M.A., M.S., M.S.N., M.B.A., M.F.A., M.M., D.Mgt., Ed.S.

1. A student may add or drop a course by filling out an official Add or Drop Slip prior to the drop/add deadline, which is the second Friday of the term. Informing the course instructor is not sufficient notice for adding or dropping a course. (Students may drop or add online.)

2. Except for the online M.B.A., a student may add a course within six calendar days of the first officially scheduled class meeting of the course section (i.e., before the course has met a second time). In these circumstances, absence from one class meeting is permitted.

3. A student may drop a course within the first two weeks of the term. For more detailed information please refer to the Refunds section of the catalog. In these circumstances, the enrollment is not recorded, tuition charges are not incurred, and certification for veterans' educational benefits is not filed.

4. The drop or add procedures must be followed when a student changes from one section of a course to another section. A change from one section to another must occur during the drop/add period. Changing a section without following these procedures may result in no credit being awarded.

5. A student may withdraw from a course by filing a Withdrawal Petition prior to the Friday of the sixth week of the term. A grade of W will be recorded on the transcript, which does not affect the student's GPA. Students should consult the Refunds section under Tuition, Fees, and Refunds for further information.

6. If veterans' educational benefits apply, the regional V.A. office will be notified of the date on which a student officially ceases attendance.
