TITLE: Course ADD/DROP Policy
PURPOSE: To establish criteria for addition or drop of booked course.
POLICY: Classes may be added or dropped until the day specified by the academic calendar.
Registration for a course makes the student responsible for attending that class until the course
is completed or until the program director and dean or designee of the Graduate School authorizes
withdrawal from that course. Approved withdrawal from a course, if completed on or before the day
specified by the academic calendar, will not be recorded on the student’s record. A withdrawal
authorized after that date will be recorded as W. A student can withdraw from a course and receive
a W at any time up to the submission of the final grade. Once the final grade has been submitted,
withdrawal is not permitted. Students may challenge grades within 30 days of issuance of final
grades by the Office of Enrollment Management; otherwise, grades will stand as recorded.
The request form to add or drop a class is found on the SGSHS website under forms
