The second drop-add period occurs during the last week of section 81 and the first week of section 82 and covers courses offered during the last eight weeks of the semester. It should be noted, however, that some courses cannot be dropped after a designated time period or without a replacement being found by the student. This information is provided in the course descriptions listed in this book. These drop-add procedures were developed by the request of the course directors to provide a mechanism whereby they can monitor and control late changes in their courses. If needed, course change forms are accepted outside of the normally designated period for courses that must be dropped thirty days before the beginning of classes.
Some faculty also require students to find replacements before being permitted to drop a course.
Information concerning such stipulations can be found in the course descriptions listed in this book. During the period after registration and late registration when the written permission of course directors is required to drop and add courses, students may request faculty to place their names on wait lists. When a course director signs the drop card of a student for a course that has a full enrollment, the first student on the wait list is called and offered that newly available slot. If the first wait listed student cannot be reached relatively promptly, the next person on the list is contacted, and so on. Students should provide course directors with telephone numbers where they can be contacted readily to ensure that opportunities for enrollment are not missed.
