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.

After the Drop/Add Deadline

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

Make an addition to their schedule after the drop/add deadline;
Change their section for the same class after the drop/add deadline;
Drop a course from their schedule after the drop/add deadline.

All requests must be submitted during the second week of classes to the Office of the Registrar.

Please abstain from submitting Academic Appeals for Late Adds and/or Late Drops for the current semester during the Schedule Adjustment Period (2nd Week of Classes).

Academic Appeals for Late Adds and/or Late Drops for the current semester may only be submitted starting on the 3rd Week of Classes.

The Office of the Registrar will review these Requests for Schedule Adjustment and approve or disapprove depending on the individual circumstances. Depending on the type of request, additional information may be required.

Instructors and Department Chairs MUST approve ALL LATE ADD requests.

Students whose adjustment increases the total number of credit hours of enrollment or whose fees increase will be assessed any/all additional/ applicable fees, including, but not limited to the $100 late payment fee.

Requests for Schedule Adjustment MUST have a Reason for Request on the form before submission.
