Held in the Student Center Ballroom the first four days of classes in each term, this is the last time you may add a class. If you wish to drop a class after this point, you may do so up to the chronological midpoint of the semester by filing the appropriate form in the Enrollment Center. The course will not appear on your record. You must be registered for 12 credits to remain a fulltime student. After the midpoint of the term, you may be permitted to withdraw from a course if there are extenuating circumstances .
Forms are available from the offices of the academic deans.
Withdrawal after the deadline is a complicated procedure. Poor academic performance is not generally considered a valid reason. Do not just stop attending classes . Extenuating circumstances may include an illness, an accident, family problems, etc. Students are responsible for class attendance, so if you have been absent for five consecutive days or less, explain the reason to your professor upon your return.
