Dropping/Adding a Course

To drop or add a course, the student must use BOSS if it is within the registration period and before the end of the drop/add period.  If the student is prevented from dropping or adding a course due to a prerequisite, closed section, after the drop/add date, etc. then the student will have to complete a drop/add form using one of three options:

  • Electronically routed ADD/DROP FORM
    • Eliminates the requirement to physically be on campus to complete the process
    • Online submission allows for automatic routing of form from student to advisor and all other appropriate personnel for approval and signatures
  • Download and print DROP/ADD FORM
    • Fillable pdf document to complete on the computer and then print out form
    • Walk form to the appropriate personnel for approval and signatures
    • Submit completed form to the Registrar’s Office
  • Printed DROP/ADD FORM
    • Form available at the Registrar’s Office or the Departments to complete by hand
    • Walk form to the appropriate personnel for approval and signatures
    • Submit completed form to the Registrar’s Office

The W grade is given when a student drops an individual class after the final date for late registration (third class day) has passed and before the end of the first eight weeks of a quarter.  After that date, students dropping classes will receive an F grade.

The deadline for dropping a class with a W grade is listed in the University academic calendar.  A student may be administratively dropped from a class, or more than one class, or from the rolls of the University, if his/her dean considers such action to be in the best interest of the class or the University.  In such a case, the academic dean will decide whether the student will be given a W or an F.
