Late registration is permitted through the second week of the fall and spring semesters, and a $40.00 late registration fee will be assessed. Courses may be dropped without academic penalty if the request is submitted by the drop date indicated in the academic calendar. No courses may be added after the two-week add deadline, and no courses may be dropped after the five-week drop deadline.

Students wishing to add or drop a course after initial registration must obtain a “Request for Program Change” form from the Registrar and secure the signature of the course instructor. All changes must be completed by the program change deadline listed in the academic calendar. Courses dropped before the deadline will not appear on the student’s permanent academic record.

Any reduction in registered credit hours will result in a tuition refund calculated according to the university’s posted refund schedule. Likewise, if a student increases their number of course credits, the student is responsible for paying the additional tuition. After the deadline for program changes, a course may be dropped only with the approval of both the course instructor and the Academic Dean. When approved, the student will receive a grade of “W.” All requests to drop a course must be submitted in writing and receive Academic Dean approval in order for a “W” grade to be assigned. Students who fail to officially drop a course and do not attend will receive a failing grade of “WF.”
