The last day to withdraw from a course with a grade of 'W' for

Spring 2008 is Monday, March 31, 2008

The Change of Registration Form is generally used any time a student wants to amend his or her schedule after he or she has already registered for a given semester. Students must include the department code, course number, and section number when they turn in their form. Additionally, the proper course status code should be circled. Please note, no paperwork is required for students making schedule changes through WebAdvisor unless students are adding a 6th course to their schedule. In that case, a 6th course form, signed by the student and Student Advisor (if no electronic permission given) , must be submitted to Academic Advising and Support Center (A.A.S.C.) PRIOR to adding the 6th course.

Dropping versus Withdrawing from a Class: If a student drops a class during the DROP/ADD period, this form requires fewer signatures. The class never shows up on the student's transcript. Beginning on the fifth day of the semester (January 18, 2008), if a student "drops" a class, he or she is actually withdrawing from a class. The class will appear on his or her transcript with a "W" next to it. The change of registration form is used differently in these two circumstances.

Important Notes:

During the DROP/ADD Period, a dropped class is simply dropped from the transcript of the student.
During the Withdrawal Period, however, a "W" will be noted on the transcript. If a student is considering graduate school, he or she should consider explaining the presence of the "W" to the graduate admissions officer. Different graduate programs view "W"'s differently.
Classes cannot be added outside of the DROP/ADD Period.
