Add/Drop/Withdraw

There are three add/drop periods within each term with different deadline dates and refund amounts. Students should refer to the Academic Calendar for specific add/drop/swap and drop/withdraw dates for the term. Drop/withdraw requests that are not submitted in the method(s) described below will not be accepted. Requests received after the published deadline will not be accepted.

Students who receive financial aid should visit the Office of Financial Aid to determine how dropping a class or withdrawing will affect their Financial Aid.

Add/Drop/Swap

Students can add, drop or swap classes online through their student Workday account at the beginning of the semester within the deadline dates listed in the Academic Calendar. After this period, students cannot add or swap classes to their schedule. Dropped courses during this period will not appear on the student’s official transcript.

Dropping a Class

After the add/drop/swap deadline, students who wish to drop a class must complete the withdrawal option in their student Workday account. Dropped courses after the add/drop/swap period will appear on the student’s official transcript with a “W” until the date listed on the Academic Calendar for the last day to Drop with a “W”.

Withdrawing from All Classes

Students who wish to drop ALL classes must complete a withdrawal for each registered course through their student Workday account.

Refunds for Dropped Classes

Refunds will be issued to students who officially drop or withdraw within the deadlines listed in the Academic Calendar. Refunds are normally processed within 3 weeks of receipt of the official drop or withdraw.

Change of Student Information

Changes to student information include contact information changes, name changes, and degree changes. Student information changes can only be made by the student. Changes can be made in the Student’s Workday Account, In Person, or by completing the required forms and e-mailing the records office.

Contact Information Change

Changes will not be updated immediately. Once you have completed all the changes and submitted them with the appropriate documentation, the Records Office will be notified and will review all change requests.

  • If all information was entered correctly and accepted by the Records Office your account will update automatically after approval.
  • If revisions or secondary documentation is required, the Records office will send a Task back to the student in Workday to be reviewed and updated. The process will begin again until final approval is completed.

Legal Name Change

Students who wish to change their legal name must provide documentation as proof of their new name. Acceptable documentation is a copy of a Social Security Card with your new name.

Preferred Name Change

A preferred name is defined as the name in which you wish to be called. This name is listed on your permanent record and changes can be denied if deemed inappropriate. A preferred name change does not require any additional documentation.

Degree Change

Not all degrees are eligible for Financial Aid. Check with Financial Aid before changing degrees to make sure your aid will not be interrupted. It is recommended that you meet with an academic advisor prior to submitting a request to change your program of study. Students can view their current Program of Study on their student Workday account.
