Attention International Students!

Before you withdraw from or audit a class or enroll in more than one distance learning class you should meet with an International Programs Advisor. International students must abide by immigration regulations to maintain their status.

Adding, Dropping and Withdrawing from a Course

Adding Classes:
After the initial registration, courses may be added on a space-available basis using the Online Services, or submit an Add/Drop form to the Registration Front Counter Services for changes.

First through the fourth day of the quarter: classes may be added through Online Services or in person WITHOUT an instructor's signature and on a space-available basis.
From the fifth day to the tenth day of the quarter: classes may be added only with an instructor's signature - or with an email from an instructor for distance learning classes.
After the tenth day of the quarter (the eighth day in summer quarter): students may not add classes.

Dropping Classes:
Students who are dropping classes may do so using Online Services or in person through the tenth instructional day (eighth day for summer) of the quarter without a record of the dropped classes appearing on the academic transcript.

Withdrawing from Classes:
Students who withdraw from classes may do so using Online Services or in person. A grade of "W" will be recorded on the academic transcript for withdrawals made after the tenth instructional day (the eighth day for summer) of the quarter.
After the eighth week of the quarter (the sixth week of summer quarter), students may not withdraw from classes. If you have missed the deadline, please talk with your instructor about other available grade options.

Financial Aid Recipients: Withdrawing from class may affect your financial aid eligibility. You should contact the Financial Aid Office prior to dropping any classes.

International Students: Dropping below 12 credit hours may impact your visa eligibility. Please talk with the International Programs Office prior to dropping any classes.

All Students: To avoid any potential problems in meeting your educational goals, you are strongly encouraged to meet with your instructor and an advisor before dropping any classes. All students who have registered and paid fees must officially withdraw if they wish to discontinue attendance. Failure to officially withdraw may result in a failing grade being assigned at the end of the quarter. Questions regarding withdrawal procedures can be answered at the Registration Office.
