Administrative Drops

You must attend regularly to guarantee your place in a course during the first two weeks of the semester. If you fail to do so, you may be administratively dropped at the discretion of the department offering the course. Check with your instructor regarding their specific policy regarding being dropped for nonattendance.

You may also be dropped at the discretion of the department if you do not have the proper course prerequisites. It is your responsibility to know whether or not you are still registered in each of your classes at the end of the drop/add period. Note: Nonattendance does not constitute withdrawal and you may still be charged for your classes unless you officially withdraw before the published deadline.

Further Questions?

If you have questions or concerns about your schedule, you should see your academic advisor or dean’s office.
If you have questions about a course in particular (regarding restrictions, prerequisites, wait lists, etc.), you should see the appropriate academic department.
If you have questions or concerns about how dropping or adding a course will affect your bill, please contact the Bursar’s Office.
