Overview

Any changes to a student's schedule must be completed by the Drop/Add period deadline as published in the Academic Calendar.

It is highly recommended that the student see their Academic Advisor prior to requesting adjustments to ensure that course selection aligns with degree planning.

See Understanding Parts of Term as the submission periods and deadlines below are based on the requested course's Part of Term.

 Use the Request for Schedule Adjustment form to process the following requests. All requests must be submitted during the second week of classes:
