Dropping, Adding and Changing the Grading Option

During the fall and spring regular sessions, a student may enroll in a course within seven calendar days from the beginning of classes; fourteen calendar days are allowed for a student to change the grading option without college approval or to drop a course with no record on the transcript. During other sessions, students may enroll in courses during the first three calendar days of a given session; five calendar days are allowed for a student to change the grading option or drop a course with no record on the transcript.

After the above deadlines, a student may choose to change the grade option for a course with the approval of the college in which they are enrolled. The student is responsible for filing a schedule change form in the college office on or before the last day of the 12th week of the regular fall or spring sessions. For all other sessions, the student is responsible for filing a schedule change form in the college office before the 80% completion date.

After these dates exceptions may be granted only by the dean of the student’s college. For information about withdrawing from a course after the drop date, see Grading policies . Students should also consult the grading policies for a discussion of the S/U grading option.
