Registration

Changing Courses

If you wish to add or drop a course after you have registered, secure your adviser's approval and:

  1. call the touch-tone telephone registration system

    or

  2. submit an add/drop form to the Registrar, 205 Kent

    and

  3. pay the appropriate tuition and fees

The telephone registration system will not permit you to drop your last or only class, as this is considered to be withdrawing from the University. All notices of withdrawal must be submitted in writing to the Admissions and Student Affairs Office, 203 Lewisohn. Notices of withdrawal are considered effective as of the date written notice is received in the Admissions and Student Affairs Office.

You may not add a course after the second week of classes (see Calendar).

If you wish to drop a course, change sections, or make any other change in your registration, secure your adviser's approval and:

  1. call the touch-tone telephone registration system

    or

  2. submit an add/drop form to the Registrar, 205 Kent

    and

  3. pay the appropriate tuition and fees

All changes must be approved by an adviser in the Admissions and Student Affairs Office before they are phoned in or submitted to the Registrar.

There is no refund of tuition for individual courses dropped after the last day of late registration:

Fall 2000: September 15
Spring 2001: January 26

If, however, you drop all of the courses for which you are registered, you are considered to be withdrawing from the University, and a percentage of your tuition will be refunded according to the withdrawal schedule.

Caution: Failure to attend classes or notification submitted only to the instructor does not constitute dropping a course and will result in a mark of UW (unofficial withdrawal) for the course and charge of full tuition.
