Drop/Add/Withdrawal Form (formerly the Schedule Change Form)

 

The Drop/Add/Withdrawal Form is for students making changes to their class schedule.  Drop/Add/Withdrawal Form in PDF (revised 4/16/12)

  • SIGNATURES REQUIRED: Student, Advisor, Instructor(s) of course(s) being added or dropped.
  • OTHER POSSIBLE SIGNATURES REQUIRED (see note below for explanation): Dean of student's college, Athletics Department Representative.

NOTE: If adding a course will increase the student's maximum allowed course load, the dean of the student's college must also sign the form. If the student is an athlete, a representative from the Athletics Department must also sign the form.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Student-Athletes who drop below full-time risk losing eligibility to compete, practice, or participate in any athletic-related activities. For ANY student, dropping below full-time status could impact financial aid, scholarships, and/or insurance coverage.  IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE DROP/ADD PROCESS: Students can add/drop courses via the Web through the last day to add or drop--without financial penalty--for that semester. After that deadline, they will be required to complete a Drop/Add Form (formerly called the Schedule Change Form) and bring the completed and signed form to Student Records for processing. Pay close attention to deadlines as noted in the academic calendar--available in the print/PDF version of the catalog and as posted on the online academic calendar.

Students who wish to drop a course and add another via the Web should keep the following in mind: The system will not allow the last remaining course to be dropped. It may be necessary to add a course temporarily that won't conflict with the student's schedule before proceeding with the add/drop activity. Note: For more information on how to add/drop via the Web, visit the Registration page.

FYI: Students will not be able to withdraw completely from all courses via the Web. Students who wish to withdraw completely from the semester must complete a Withdrawal Request and mail, fax, or deliver in person the form to the Student Records Office. (Please see the instructions on withdrawing for more information. Some students are required to withdraw through their respective schools.)
