Drop/add and late registration

During the drop/add period and using their registration number, students drop and add courses and register late through Seaweb/Sealine. Students without a registration number, such as leave-of-absence or re-enrolling students, may get their number from the office of the Registrar.

Force-add

Faculty can force-add beyond the previously established limit for a course by signing an add card, although, by doing this, faculty may inadvertently overenroll their classes. A student is allowed to drop or add courses until the end of the first week of the semester without having a grade entered on the academic record. The dates and procedure for drop/add can be found in the course schedule on Seaweb. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the dates for Drop/Add.

Dropping an absent student during the drop/add period

At the faculty member's request, a chairperson may drop a student from the class roll during the drop/add period if and only if all of the following conditions apply:

  • the course is fully enrolled, and
  • additional students are waiting to enroll, and
  • the student did not attend the first class meeting, and
  • the student did not notify the faculty member or departmental office within 24 hours of the first meeting of a desire to remain enrolled

Faculty members should make their advisees aware of this policy.
