Students may drop one, some, or all of their classes during the drop/add period. Courses dropped in this manner do not appear on a student’s transcript and are not considered as hours attempted for financial aid purposes. No grade is assigned for such courses. The period at the beginning of a term when students can sign up for new courses and drop courses in which they were previously registered meaning that you can change your classes that you’re taking next year.
If you’re a senior as a student you are responsible for any tuition and/or fees associated with the course. If you drop your class too late, you may get a low or failing grade for it, which could hurt your GPA. Second, dropping a required class could mean you need to retake it during the summer or risk not graduating on time.
During the Fall and Winter terms, you have until the end of the third week of class to add a class. Before doing so, it’s important to talk to the counselor to ensure you can get caught up on whatever work you may have already missed. From the end of the third week to the end of the ninth week of class, you can add a class with permission. Add deadlines for the Spring and Summer half-terms are shorter; add can be processed until the end of the second week of class and late add changes with permission can be processed until the end of the fifth week.
