It is the student’s responsibility to officially add or drop a course in which he/she is enrolled. (Students are not to cease class attendance without completely processing an Add/Drop Form. Failure to take such action will result in an “F” being assigned for the course.)
1. Courses may be added or dropped during the first week of classes with only adviser approval.*
2. Students adding courses during the second week of classes will need to obtain instructor and adviser/director approval.*
3. Courses cannot be dropped by phone.
4. It is the responsibility of the student to confirm all add/drops/withdrawals, regardless of the situation.
5. Drops completed during the first week of courses are considered a “drop” and students are entitled to a full refund. It is the responsibility of the student to submit the completed form to Student Services prior to the close of business of the respective drop date.
6. During the second week of classes a student may drop and receive a half refund, if the drop is completely processed and in Student Services during normal working hours. Refunds are not given after the second week of classes.
7. Drops completed prior to the official 20th class day will not become a part of the transcript. During this period the:
a. Drop/Add/Withdrawal Form is completed by the student, (forms available in Student Services).
b. Student is responsible for obtaining the signature of the adviser or appropriate director.
c. Student is responsible for submitting the completed form to the Student Services Office prior to the close of business on the respective drop date.
6. A student who withdraws from a course after the official 20th class day must complete an Add/Drop/Withdrawal Form in accordance with the procedure stated in item seven.
a. Withdrawals completed after the official 20th class day are considered a withdrawal and there is no refund.

c. Students enrolled for regular fall/spring courses will not be permitted to withdraw from courses the last 15 class days prior to finals each semester. *
7. Discontinuing attendance in class without officially dropping/withdrawing will normally result in an “F” being recorded on the transcript.

9. Students will not be permitted to withdraw or drop a course in which they have received an “F” due to academic dishonesty.
