A student may only drop a course that will cause them to go below that level with permission from the grad director and advisor. Students must be enrolled in the quarter they graduate. If dropping a course affects a previously filed M4, it must be refiled. The M4 must be signed by the advisor, grad director, and dean. Per grad school requirements.
All forms are available from the staff in the CS main office.
If a grade of C or below is received in the course, it is as if the course was not taken. In particular, if the C was in CS 510 or CS 515, that course must be retaken. By approval of advisor. If you accept an assistantship offer, you are obliged to fulfill your obligation. Entire committee must be kept up to date on progress of research.
