Changes to Course Drop & Withdrawal Deadlines

Late Drop Voucher System Introduced

Changes to the course drop and withdrawal deadlines have been implemented beginning with the fall 2018 semester. Students taking undergraduate and master's courses will have six (6) weeks to drop a course and ten (10) weeks to withdraw from a course. Exact add, drop and withdrawal dates may be found on the official Academic Calendar. Up until the deadlines, students can initiate course adds and drops through Student Information Online (SIO). Courses dropped by the deadline will not appear on the student's record, and courses withdrawn from by the deadline will receive a 'W' grade. 

Additionally, a late drop voucher system will be implemented beginning with the fall 2018 semester to permit a limited number of late course drops. Undergraduate students are permitted three drop vouchers over the course of their undergraduate career and may use only one voucher per semester (including summer). Master's students are permitted one drop voucher per year of study and may use only one voucher per semester (including summer). Courses dropped using a voucher will be removed from the student's record, as long as the drop is confirmed in SIO by the student within 24 hours of receiving the automated voucher email.
