Friday, 1/30/2025 was the deadline to add a class, but you can still drop up to the February 24 deadline (after the drop deadline, you can withdraw with a W on or before March 26)
Follow the easy online steps below to drop a class on or before the
deadline.
1. Contact your adviser to discuss and obtain their approval
Best practice is to have an advising conversation where you discuss options and any possible implications of this drop on your full-time status or your graduation progress, but depending on how much you and your adviser have already discussed things, they may agree to review and approve your form without such a meeting
2. Submit the online Drop Request Form
You will only be able to drop online if your adviser grants permission. Be sure that you are not attempting to drop below 12 credits unless approved via CARDS or as a final-semester senior -- the system will not allow drop below 12 credits without additional approval, and there are separate processes for the approved situations.
3. Once your adviser grants permission, you will receive an email informing you that you have permission to drop the class(es) discussed.
While this adviser permission is for the specific class you request, functionally it reopens your ability to drop in general, so be sure to drop the right class and nothing else.
4. **Do NOT forget this step!!!** You will have two days to drop the class on Vergil.*
If you don't drop within the 2-day window, you will need to request permission again.
*Note that you must drop on or before the drop deadline if you want the class removed from your transcript.
