Paper Add/Drops
When to Use Add/Drop Form
- For add/drop of courses which are NOT web-enabled (WEB = N in the Master Class Schedule).
- For requesting waivers from registration restrictions for courses which are WEB-ENABLED
(WEB = Y in the Master Class Schedule).
Timelines
- Any add/drop request submitted after the add/drop period requires special consideration by the academic unit on a case by case basis and may not be approved.
- Students who need to change their pre-registered courses which are NOT web-enabled before they can add another course through the web should submit their add/drop request to the course-offering academic unit prior to web registration.
- Students will be notified by email of their updated registration record. Any add/drop request which is not reflected in the student's schedule or course registration record means the request has not been approved by the academic unit.
- To verify your course registration, click "Course Registration Records" from the "Course Registration" menu in AIMS.
