A graduate student may add a course or courses through the last day to register for the semester (fall/spring semesters this is the sixth class day). The student must secure appropriate approval from the instructor and or departmental chair and contact the Office of the Registrar to have the add processed.

A graduate nondoctoral student may drop a course and receive no grade according to the date given in the Graduate School calendar. The student must notify their program advisor of the drop and contact the Office of the Registrar to have the drop processed. An e-mail from the advisor or the advisor’s signature on a drop form indicates awareness of the change. Students that experience a medical emergency or other serious emergency that necessitates dropping all courses in a term after the last day to drop should refer to the university’s graduate student withdrawal policy in the Admission and Readmission  section of this catalog.

Doctoral students may drop courses only with permission of their departmental chair or graduate committees.

No course is officially dropped or added until all appropriate approvals are obtained from the advisor and/or the Graduate School and the required procedure is completed with the Office of the Registrar.
