LAST DAY TO DROP/ADD - FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2003

Drop, Add, Withdrawal

Full semester courses may not be added after the first week that the course has met. Courses dropped during the first week of the semester will not be recorded on the student's permanent records unless they withdraw all their classes, in which case grades of "W" will be awarded. Courses dropped during the second and third weeks of the semester will be recorded on the permanent record with a "W" Students who withdraw from a class for any reason after the third week but before the beginning of final examination week will receive a grade of "WF" or "WP" depending on their performance. A "WF" indicates "withdrawal failing" and is treated as an "F" for purposes of calculating the quality point average. A "WP" is treated like a "W" and will not affect a student's QPA or credits attempted. Students taking basic competency courses, with the exception of physical education/dance activity courses in the liberal studies program, may not drop or withdraw once the semester has started.

Students desiring to add closed sections will have to secure the signatures of the professors of the closed sections.

Students may use yellow drop/add cards anytime after they have registered until the end of the first week of the semester. After the first week of the semester students must use blue withdrawal cards, which require the signatures of the professors of the courses and the students advisors.

Students who drop, add, or withdraw from classes after the university's stated deadlines must receive their respective dean's permission and will be charged $15 for each transaction.
