Dropping/Adding Courses

A student may add or drop courses during the registration and schedule change period, which is the first three days of the semester. Tuition and fees for courses dropped after the first three days of each semester are not refundable.

To add or drop a course before or during the first three days of the semester, a student should contact their advisor using their student email account. If the advisor approves of the add/drop, either Banner Web will be used to update the student schedule or the advisor will forward the request email to the Registrar’s Office for processing.

To drop a course after the first three days of the semester, a student can initiate the drop by emailing the instructor from the student email account and requesting to be dropped or the student can complete a Course Drop form through the student's eTrieve portal. Students wishing to drop all courses for a semester should request a Total Withdrawal through the office of Counseling and Retention.

Students who add courses may owe additional tuition and fees (see Fees and Expenses).

Courses dropped during the first three days of the semester will not appear on the student’s official academic record and will not be calculated in the course load for financial aid purposes. Students who drop a course may be due a refund (see Tuition Refunds).
