Courses Changed or Dropped

In regular terms, which include the Fall and Spring semesters, courses may be added through the fifth day of classes on my.lyon Ordinarily, permission to add courses will not be granted after the fifth day of classes of each regular 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 fifteen class days after the release of mid-semester grades, a grade of “W” (withdrawal) 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 fifteen-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. See the Table below for a summary.

For the Summer terms, the first day of classes is also the last day students may add a course. A course dropped before the 5th day of classes will not appear on the transcript, while courses dropped by the 12th day of classes will be recorded with a “W.”

In the Sub-terms, available for students in the BSN program, accelerated courses, or courses approved by the Provost, can be added up to the third day of classes. A course dropped before the 6th day of classes will not appear on the transcript, while courses dropped by the 20th day will be recorded with a “W.”

In Mini-terms, exclusively available for students in the BSN program, students may add courses through the third day of classes. A course dropped before the 5th day of classes will not appear on the transcript, and courses dropped by the 18th day will receive a “W” on the record.

In all terms, 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.
