Dropping courses after registration (during Drop period)
Except for students enrolled in Learning Support, Regents remediation, applied music, or restricted enrollment courses, a student may drop courses from the schedule during this period. Drops may be made via the web (provided you have no holds) or by submitting a
Course Change Card to the Registrars Office for processing. No approval is required (unless you have an adviser hold) on the
Course Change Card to drop a course during this time period.
Dropping courses after the Drop period
On or before the last day to drop a course without academic penalty (unless previously assigned an "F" by the professor for absences) - students may drop courses using the
Course Change Card. Approval of the instructor and faculty adviser are required.
After the last day to drop a course without academic penalty (unless previously assigned an "F" by the professor for absences), the student will receive a grade of "WF". However, with the approval of the class instructor, the student may petition the dean of the school in which the student will be advised for a "W" or "I" (Incomplete) if the drop is due to nonacademic extenuating circumstances and the student is passing the courses at the time of withdrawal. Supporting documentation will be maintained by the dean of the appropriate school.
Students enrolled in Learning Support, Regents remediation, or applied music may drop courses with the approval of the chairperson of the department. Students on restricted enrollment may drop courses only with the approval of the dean.
Withdrawal from the University (temporarily or permanently)
To withdraw from the university, a student must formally withdraw through the Office of the Registrar. The
Withdrawal Request Form may be printed using Acrobat Reader 5.0*. Failure to withdraw officially will result in the grade of "F" in all courses. A student, who withdraws from the university either temporarily or permanently at any time after the last day to drop a course without academic penalty (unless previously assigned an "F" by the professor for absences), will receive a grade of "WF" for each course being carried at the time of withdrawal. However, with the approval of the class instructor, the student may petition the dean of the school in which the student will be advised for a "W" or "I" (Incomplete) if the withdrawal is due to nonacademic extenuating circumstances and the student is passing all courses at the time of withdrawal. Supporting documentation will be maintained by the dean of the appropriate school. The timing of withdrawals in order to avoid academic penalty is the responsibility of the student. Deadlines are published in the University Calendar.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher is needed for the forms on this page.
