Add/Drop Dates

During summer session, the Add/Drop period depends on the length of the course. See the list of add/drop dates for Summer Courses

Are you looking for Add/Drop/withdrawal dates for the Academic year?

Once courses begin, there is a fixed period of time called the Add/Drop Period in which you may add new courses or drop courses without financial or academic penalty. However, if you are a recipient of financial aid, please check with Student Financial Services to see if dropping credit hours will affect your financial aid.

Withdrawal Period

During summer session, the Withdrawal period depends on the length of the course. See the list of add/drop dates

What is withdrawal?

When you withdraw from a course it remains on your permanent record. Any courses you withdraw from will be assigned a grade of “W” which will appear on your transcript but will not affect your GPA.
