Add/Drop a Course
The “Add/Drop Period” is defined as the period at the start of each term when students may drop and add courses to their schedule. The Add/Drop Period will begin on the first day of class. After the Add/Drop Period ends, students may continue to withdrawal from individual courses using the change of schedule form according to dates indicated on the academic calendar but no new courses can be added.
Add/Drop Instructions
The Add/Drop period for main campus students will begin the first week of class.
The system will remain accessible to faculty until the day before classes begin.
How to Add/Drop a Course
Add/Drop will be conducted via Student Planning in .
Students will need to have advisor approval to make changes to their schedule in Self Service.Â
After consulting with your advisor, check carefully to be sure that no time conflicts appear on your schedule, that the course you plan to add has seats available and that you have met the necessary prerequisites for applicable courses.
Courses are not available to add if they have no available seats. We caution students to always try to do the add function first, if possible, before they drop a section. Once a seat is dropped by a student, it is made available for others to add.
How Add/Drop may impact your student status and eligibility
Please be aware that full-time status for Undergraduate students is 12-18.5 credit hours for Fall and Spring. Students are responsible for ensuring that any schedule changes do not result in less than a 12 semester hour registration.
Dropping below 12 credit hours may impact your eligibility for financial aid, veterans’ benefits, international student visas, on-campus housing, or athletics compliance. Please contact financial aid, the VA certifying official, international admission, residence life, or an athletic academic advisor if you are dropping full-time status BEFORE you make a schedule change.
