ADD/DROP PROCEDURE

 
TO ADD A CLASS, click on the ADD button at the bottom of the schedule page.  Choose a term and subject from the pull-down menu and click on the "SUBMIT" button at the bottom of the page. A list of all courses from that department will be displayed from which you can select one or more classes by clicking on the appropriate box(es).  Follow the directions given on the ADD screen to add a course.

TO DROP A CLASS, click on the DROP button at the bottom of the schedule page.  It is important that you verify that a replacement course is open before dropping a course from your schedule.  If you drop a course that is closed (full) you will not be able to re-add the course until you obtain instructor consent.  Follow the directions given on the DROP screen to drop a course.

TO SAVE your schedule (when adding/dropping is complete), click on the FINISH button at the bottom of the schedule page.  You will receive notification that your schedule has been confirmed.
 

We recommend that you check your schedule through the Student Kiosk (QUACK) before each add and drop deadline.  Once you have completed Web Check-in, you have officially enrolled in courses.  If you are incorrectly registered for a course, you must withdraw officially from the class via the Web.  It is important to note that you must do this; an instructor or adviser cannot change your registration. 

Note that the approval of your adviser is required for all changes to your schedule (add or drop), and that the instructor's consent is required to add a class after the first week of classes (starting Tuesday, September 9th).  Instructor's consent is not required to drop a class.


Last day to ADD a class - Monday, September 15th

Last day to DROP a class without record - Wednesday, October 15th
