Late Drop/Add
Petition to ADD a class
- Student completes an enrollment worksheet, including all of their information on the form (name, class, PeopleSoft number).
- Student completes a Permission code form and has it approved by the instructor of the class.
- Student writes a brief letter explaining the extenuating circumstances behind why he/she was unable to add the class during the regular drop/add period. For example, if there was a hold on a student's account, the student was sitting in on the class all along, and the hold was just lifted after the drop/add period was over, that would be acceptable. If the student just forgot to process the add until after the drop/add period, that would NOT be acceptable.
- Student submits all of these items to the Registration Team.
- If the petiton is approved, the Registration Team will process the late add including a waiver of the late fee, if appropriate. If the petition is not approved, then the student cannot process the late add.
- The Registration Team will email the student when the petition is processed. If a late fee is owed, this is applied to the student's bill.
Petitioning to DROP a class
- Student needs to complete an enrollment worksheet, including all of their information on the form (name, class, PeopleSoft number).
- Student writes a brief letter explaining the extenuating circumstances behind why he/she was unable to drop the class during the regular drop/add period. For example, if there was a hold on a student's account and the hold was just lifted after the drop/add period was over, that would be acceptable. If the student just forgot to process the add until after the drop/add period, that would NOT be acceptable.
- Student submits the enrollment worksheet and the petition letter to the Registration Team.
- If the petiton is approved, the Registration Team will process the late drop including a waiver of the late fee, if appropriate. If the petition is not approved, then the student cannot process the late drop (but the student may still be able to process a monitored withdrawal if this occurs before the deadline).
- The Registration Team will email the student when the petition is processed. If a late fee is owed, this is applied to the student's bill.
Remember that if you drop below full time status (12 credits for undergraduates, 9 credits for graduate students), you may jeopardize financial aid, student loans, health insurance, and/or your immigration status (if you are an international student).
