Drop/Add Day

Drop/Add Day will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, January 22 in the Hall of Presidents in J.C. Colgate Hall. Drop/add times are determined by class year. Class year is determined by earned credits. Please refer to the drop/add schedule above. Students may drop and/or add courses through Wednesday, February 1.

How to drop or add a class

If you plan to participate in Drop/Add you may print your Drop/Add schedule from the Portal. The registrar's office will also be available to print your schedule during regular business hours if you bring your ID to the office (126 McGregory).

Any changes to the original schedule must be made during the drop/add period by securing the dated signature of the faculty member teaching the course. The instructor’s signature is required both to drop and to add a course.

Students may not add and/or drop courses themselves using Banner Self-Service. All changes must be processed by the Office of the Registrar.

Important! The signed and dated schedule of classes must be submitted in person to the Office of the Registrar in McGregory Hall by February 1, the end of the drop/add period. Changes requested after the end of the drop/add period must be reviewed by the registrar and the student's administrative adviser. If approved, late drop/add forms are subject to a $40 late registration fee.

Course availability

Faculty will maintain their own class lists -- including all adds, drops, and waitlist changes -- after drop/add begins. If you want to know the availability of seats in a given class, you should contact the instructor, who will have the most current and accurate enrollment numbers. Students who are interested in a course should go to the course on the first day of classes (Monday, January 23) and/or the first full class period. In addition, students are advised to speak with the instructor before or after the class meets or during office hours, rather than sending an e-mail or phoning.
