Course Drop Information
IMPORTANT: Ceasing to attend classes does not constitute a course drop. Failure to follow correct course drop procedures may result in a failing grade and a loss of tuition fee credit. Students may drop without academic penalty from a course at any time before the published final academic drop date applicable to the course.
Dropping courses BEFORE classes begin
You may drop a class using WebAdvisor, without any fee penalties, prior to the start of classes. See "Instructions" below.
