Add/Drop Period

All changes of registration are made through the Dean of Students office. Forms are available in department offices and Walker 111.

In autumn, winter, and spring, the period to add/drop courses, add/drop language reading examinations, and change registration statuses to or from an audit is the first three weeks of the quarter. In summer, the add/drop schedule varies based on the length of the course. In autumn, winter, and spring, students may not add/drop before the quarter begins.

All changes of registration require signed departmental approval. Further, the signature of the instructor is required if the course is full or requires instructor consent. Courses dropped after the add/drop period has ended are noted on the student transcript with a grade of "W". A late change fee ($50 for the current quarter and $150 for a prior quarter) is assessed for any enrollment change processed after the add/drop period has ended. There is no refund of the language exam fee ($70) for exams dropped after the third week of the quarter.

The University maintains a strict tuition refund schedule published on the website of the Office of the Bursar.
