The system does not allow a user to drop a class that has already been dropped or
withdrawn. See “Setup Requirements” on 6-27 for the Add or Drop Classes page for
additional information.
Automatic Drops
An automatic drop is one that occurs if certain conditions are met when a user attempts to
drop a connected course. When a connected course is dropped, the appropriate drop code
and refund (if any) are applied to the student.
A single, active drop code must be available for a successful connected or automatic drop
to occur.
• If no drop codes exist for any part of a connection, no courses in the connection are
allowed to be dropped.
• If multiple drop codes exist for any part of a connection, no courses in the
connection are allowed to be dropped automatically. This is because the system
does not choose which drop code to use for the automatic drop. In this case, the
user can initiate the drop by selecting one of the multiple drop codes where
necessary. The drop is processed with the selected drop code, and the refund (if
any) associated with the code is applied.
Example
Let’s say a student is registered for History 308, English 310, and Mathematics 125.
History 308 and English 310 are corequisites. History 308 has a single drop code of
DC, but English 310 has two drop codes available: DC and DW.
Now let’s say that the user chooses to drop History 308 with the DC code. The system
determines that it is connected to English 310, which has two drop codes. In this case,
the drop is rejected because the system does not know which of the two drop codes to
assign to English 310.
On the other hand, if the user chooses to drop English 310 with either of the drop
codes, the system drops History 308 automatically with the DC drop code, because it
is the only one available.
Finally, if the user chooses to drop both courses simultaneously and specifies a drop
code for each, the drops are allowed.
When a student is dropped or withdraws from a connected course without dropping the
entire connection, the system determines which of the following conditions applies and
takes the associated action shown in the table that follows.
