Courses may be added through the fifth day of classes using an add/drop form. Ordinarily, permission to add courses will not be granted after the fifth day of classes of each term. A course dropped before the 11th day of classes will not appear on the student’s transcript. For each course dropped between the 11th day of classes and five class days after the release of mid-semester grades, a grade of “W” will appear on the transcript. Under exceptional circumstances, and with the provost’s approval, a student may drop a course between the end of the five-day class drop period following the release of mid-semester grades and the last day of classes; in this case, a grade of “WP” or “WF” will appear on the student’s transcript.
A course may not be dropped once the final examination period has begun except in the case of an extreme medical emergency and with the provost’s permission; in this case, a grade of “WP” or “WF” will be issued.
