Winter 2021 > Academic Policies and Procedures > Add/Drop Period

Add/Drop Period

The Add/Drop period begins at the start of a term and ends on the second Tuesday of the term of the term. During this period, students may add or drop classes. Courses dropped during this period will not appear on students’ transcripts nor be included in evaluating the student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students dropping all classes will be treated as a withdrawal from the University.

New students may be admitted during this period provided they attend at least one scheduled class during the Add/Drop period.  Students will not be admitted after the Add/Drop period without approval from the campus Executive Director and the applicable program Dean/Chair.  Note:  For information regarding adjustments to institutional charges, please see the Refunds for Dropped Courses policy in the "Financial Aid > Withdrawal and Refund Policies" section of this catalog.

Please note, the University will automatically withdraw a student from any course(s) in which he or she is registered and for which attendance has not occurred by the end of the Add/Drop period.  Programs and courses may have specific attendance requirements.  Students dropping any course(s) within the OT or PT programs will be withdrawn from the University.  Please refer to the programmatic section of the catalog and to the specific programmatic handbook for each program for more information.
