ADD/DROP POLICIES

TO ADD A COURSE:

Courses may be added only during the first five class days of a semester on a space-available basis.

TO DROP A COURSE:

• During the first ten class days of a semester: Courses may be dropped. No grade will appear on transcript.

 

• After the first ten class days, but before mid-semester: Courses may be dropped. A grade of “W” will appear on the transcript but is not figured into the grade point average.

 

• After mid-semester: Students who stop attending classes will receive a grade of “AF”. This grade will

  be figured into the grade point average. In extraordinary circumstances (e.g. health, personal hardship) the

  Academic Dean may authorize a withdrawal which will not affect the grade point average. A special

  request form and written documentation of extraordinary circumstance are required. This will be done

  through the Director of Educational Support Services and submitted to the Academic Dean.

   The date that properly completed Add/Drop forms are received by the Academic Affairs Office will be

considered the official date of record. Students who do not officially drop courses within the Add/Drop period

(the first 10 class days of a semester) assume all academic consequences and financial obligation for tuition

and fees. Non-attendance of classes is not considered a withdrawal and jeopardizes the student’s

academic record and eligibility for refunds or financial aid.
