Following pre-registration, all course changes require the signature of the student's academic advisor. After classes begin, or if a class is closed, the signature of the instructor is required in order to drop or add a course. These signatures are then submitted to the Registrar's Office for an official change in registration. Courses may be added during the first two weeks of the fall and spring semester or during the first three days of classes during January term. Courses may be dropped during the first third of the term in which they are offered without appearing on a student's academic transcript.
Specific deadline dates for course changes are posted each semester.
Auditing a Course Students who wish to attend a course but not receive College credit or a grade for their work may audit the course. Students who audit a course attend classes on a regular basis but are not required to do the course work or take any tests in the course. When the course is completed, the audited course is noted on the student's transcript. An additional tuition charge will be added if a student's registration exceeds 18 credits. Change of Major After having declared a major, students who wish to register for another course of study must obtain the signature of the Department Chair for the new major.
