Add/Drop Procedures

  1. Advisor permission is granted at the initial registration review. Be sure to discuss any significant changes to your schedule with your advisor, and check My Progress/Degree Audit to ensure that any changes still meet degree requirements. To view My Progress/Degree Audit, select Loyola Self-Service, Student Planning, Go to My Progress.

  2. Students must have electronic sixth course permission from their advisor to add a sixth course using Student Planning. The code must be entered by the advisor in the Advising 'Compose a Note' box, formatted as P6YY/SS.  For example, in Fall 2024, P624/FA and in Spring 2024, P624/SP, and have no other words around it.

  3. Select the Student Planning option for changing your registration ONLY if there are no special circumstances surrounding your course changes (required override, specialized forms, or special permissions).

  4. Students who are unsure about whether a course meets their degree requirements should seek assistance from their advisor or the Academic Advising and Support Center (MH 138) prior to the end of the add/drop period. Once add/drop closes, no further course adjustments can be made.

  5. Check My Progress/Degree Audit in Student Planning after making any schedule changes to ensure that the change fulfills a degree requirement.

  6. Warning: Drop courses at your own risk. Once a course is dropped, the space opens for other students to add the course. You may not be able to re-add your initial course selection if you change your mind.

  7. For Student Planning assistance, contact the Records Office. For advising assistance, email aasc@loyola.edu or call 410-617-5050.
