Course Drop Periods (Course Drop Policy)
Courses may be dropped without restriction from the first day of
Registration Period I through the 7th calendar day of the quarter
(Period III). No record of the dropped course(s) will be recorded on the
transcript.
This period is from the 8th calendar day of the quarter through the 14th
calendar day of the quarter. Courses may be dropped without restriction
during this period. No record of the dropped course(s) will be
recorded on the transcript. There is a $20 Change of Registration Fee
charged for all registration changes made on a single day during this
period. A tuition forfeiture
may be charged.
You may change to or from the audit grade option through 5:00 p.m.,
Friday of the second week of the quarter. This transaction must be done
in person at the Registration
Office, 225 Schmitz Hall.
Each academic year (September through August) you may drop one course
after the 14th calendar day of a quarter, but no later than the end of
the 7th week of the quarter. Once this "annual drop" is used, no
additional drops will be permitted after the 14th calendar day until the
next autumn quarter. A W grade and the week designation (W3 through W7)
will follow the course title on your academic
transcript. You will assessed a $20 change of registration fee
and tuition forfeiture. These optional drops are not cumulative.
Annual Drop Restored
You may petition for a Hardship
Withdrawal following the 14th calendar day of a quarter if you are
unable to complete a course(s) due to physical and/or mental debilitation
or unusual or extenuating circumstances beyond your control. The petition
must be submitted with supportive documentation. If you used your one
"annual drop" prior to submission of a hardship withdrawal and your
petition is granted, your one "annual drop" will be restored.
If you use your one "annual drop" and then find that you must
completely withdraw from the quarter, your
one "annual drop" will be restored.
