Dropping/Adding
Courses top
|
Responsibility for dropping or adding courses prior
to the deadline rests entirely with the student.
Failure to fulfill the responsibility because of an
oversight, ignorance, or possibility of low grades is
not sufficient grounds to petition for permission to
drop or add a course after the deadline. It is the
policy of the Institute that no petitions be accepted
for the retroactive dropping or adding of a course
except under extenuating circumstances beyond the
student's control.
If a full-time undergraduate student is taking less
than 12 credit hours, the director of the Advising and
Learning Assistance Center (ALAC) must approve.
During the summer sessions, courses may be added
during the first week of each session. Courses may not
be dropped any time before the end of the third week of
classes.
Students who have approval to drop a course after the
eighth week of classes will receive a grade of "W" in
the course.

|
Add a course: Any time
during the first ten days of a semester.
Changed sections: Any time
during the first two weeks of the semester.
Drop a course: Any time
during the first eight weeks of the semester.
