Automatic-W Deadline for Full Semester Classes

The deadline for dropping full-semester classes with an automatic grade of W is Wednesday, March 5th.

If you are dropping a class and NOT adding a second eight week course to replace it, then you can drop the class on Onestart using the eDrop system.

There are a couple of different scenarios for students who are dropping a class and adding a second eight week course to replace it:

1. if you will drop to part-time status when you drop the class (fewer than 12 credit hours), you will have to use the paper late drop/add slip to drop and add the classes. If you drop the class online and fall to part time, you will incur very large fees if you subsequently add a class to go back to full time. If you are on the full time/part time border, USE THE PAPER DROP/ADD SLIP TO AVOID FEES. The slips are available in the Recorder's Office in Kirkwood Hall 001.

2. if you will NOT drop to part-time status when you drop the class (fewer than 12 credit hours), you can go ahead and drop the class using the eDrop system. You cannot add second eight week classes online - for that, you must pick up a late add slip from the Recorder's Office in Kirkwood Hall 001.
