No student may drop a course after the last day of the twelfth week for any reason. A total of 16 credits of late drops are allowed during the entire time you are enrolled at the University, so this option must be exercised very carefully. Whenever you drop a course, you may seriously jeopardize expected progress. You must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits to remain a full time student. Section changes are requested through the department offering the course.
Most academic departments allow section changes for important reasons.
No Comprehensive Studies Program courses may be taken with this option. If, for reasons beyond your control, you cannot complete a course within the prescribed time, the grade for that course may be deferred with the instructor's approval. You must then complete all of the required work by the end of the sixth week of the next semester. The deferred grade option should only be considered when the additional time would allow you to successfully complete a course. Don't pursue this option to delay inevitable failing grades.
