ADDING A CLASS
Students may add courses to their schedule during the Registration period until the end of the
add/drop period. The add/drop period for each semester is indicated on the Academic
Calendar.
To add a course, the student must notify the academic advisor in writing of their intent to add a
course. The add process is not complete until written student verification has been obtained.
Any changes to a student’s schedule may affect the student’s financial aid.
DROPPING A CLASS
Students may drop courses from their schedule during the add/drop period. The add/drop
period for each semester is indicated on the Academic Calendar.
To drop a course, the student must notify the academic advisor in writing of their intent to drop
a course. Courses successfully dropped no longer appear on the student’s permanent academic
record and charges for the course are removed.
COURSE CANCELLATION
Any course may be cancelled if enrollment is insufficient. Students are informed of
cancellations by Victory e-mail. It is the responsibility of the students to immediately contact
their academic advisor for a course to replace the cancelled one, if this is possible.
LATE REGISTRATION
Students may not register for courses in a term/semester after the published add/drop period.
The add/drop period for each term/semester is indicated on the Academic Calendar.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSE
Once the add/drop period is over, students may withdraw from courses. This is called the
Withdrawal Period and is indicated on the Academic Calendar for each term/semester. To
withdraw from a course, the student must complete the steps listed as required on the
“Withdrawal from Course” form which is available in the advisor’s office, Registrar’s Office, and
on the University’s website. When a student successfully withdraws from a course, the student
is assigned the grade of “W” for such a course, which thereafter will be reflected on the
student’s permanent academic record. A grade of “W” has no effect on the student’s Grade
