Drop/Add Courses
After registering, you will have access to continuous drop/add courses using the Student Center until the Sunday following the first week of classes. If you drop a class during this time, it will not show up on your transcript or grade report.
If you want to drop or add a class after the first week of the term, use the eDrop/eAdd procedure in Student Center.
Graduate students who add or drop courses may be charged course fees, tuition, and/or penalties.
- Dropped credit hours are refunded at the applicable refund period percentage (see the official calendar for deadlines)
- You will not get a refund for a class dropped after the refund period
