Making course changes
- You may add or change courses, or change credit status until late registration ends.
- If you register for at least 1 course by the registration deadline, you do not pay a late fee to add or change courses during late registration.
- Even if you register after classes begin, you are expected to attend all class meetings and do all required coursework.
To make course changes, log into online services or submit the course change and withdrawal form.
Withdrawing from courses
Withdrawal deadlines are listed below. Note that:
- Stopping payment on checks or credit cards is not a valid method of withdrawing from courses.
- You may be assigned a failing grade if you are enrolled for credit and you do not withdraw by the final withdrawal deadline.
- If you are considering an Extension degree, note that withdrawal (WD) and failing grades may affect your eligibility for admission. See the admission information for the degree program that interests you and call the program office with questions.
To withdraw, log into online services or submit the course change and withdrawal form.
