Adding, Dropping, and Withdrawing from Courses
Graduate students may add and drop courses during a specified period at the beginning of each semester/session. No courses may be added after this period. After the deadline, students may withdraw from courses up to a specified date near the end of each semester/session. Withdrawing from a course requires approval by the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs. Withdrawing from a course after the “Add/Drop Period” will be recorded as a “W” on the student’s official transcript. Students must officially drop or withdraw from courses; otherwise, courses will remain on transcripts with a grade of “F.”
All students who wish to drop or withdraw from courses are strongly urged to consult with the Office of Financial Aid beforehand.
Refunds of tuition when students drop or withdraw from courses are pro-rated downward beginning on the first day of the semester, not the first meeting of the class. Please see the refund policy below.
