Schedule Adjustments

Each student is responsible for determining, prior to the end of the adjustment period, whether the student has the appropriate class schedule. Course prerequisites, compatibility with work schedule and class assignments should be considered carefully. All schedule adjustments must be processed by the published deadlines. Students are allowed to withdraw from courses during the posted schedule adjustment period. During this period, the refund schedules are adhered to and students should consult the Refund Schedule for the term. A student may add or drop courses any time during the initial registration period which ends when courses for the term begin. The last day to add full-term courses is the fifth class day for the term. After the Official Headcount Day for the term, a student may only withdraw from courses for a recorded grade of W. Courses that fall outside of the traditional term structure have different add/drop/withdrawal deadlines. Consult the dates and deadlines for the specific term.

Students who need to withdraw from a course or courses after the published deadline(s) can use the Petition for Schedule Adjustment to request an administrative registration change. The petition has additional deadlines and requirements for submission and students should read the instructions thoroughly.

If you have questions, contact your school’s advisor:

​Undeclared majors must contact Academic Counseling and Exploration.
