Change of Schedule
Adjustments (add/drops) to schedules are completed by a student and should be made only after consultation with the student's faculty adviser or a member of the Oiler Success Center when the faculty adviser is unavailable. Adding a course, dropping a course, or changing from one section of the same course constitutes a change of schedule. Students may add a course or change sections up through the fifth day of a standard semester course and after the fifth day through Friday of the third week of class of the standard semester with written permission from the instructor. A student may appeal an instructor’s decision to decline a late enrollment at any time to the Student Academic Standards Committee. All requests to add courses after the third week of a standard semester must be sent to the Student Academic Standards Committee for approval.
For classes that are part of an academic period shorter than a standard 16-week semester, a student may add a course or change from one section to another section of the same course up through the third day of the period and after the third day through Friday of the second week of classes with written permission from the instructor. All requests to add courses after the second week of classes for classes that are part of an academic period shorter than a standard 16-week semester must be sent to the Student Academic Standards Committee for approval.
Courses that are dropped by a student on or before the sixth day in any academic period spanning 11 weeks or longer, or on or before the third day in any academic period spanning 10 weeks or shorter, will not appear on the student's transcript. Any courses withdrawn after the periods stated previously, but before the last day to withdraw, will be shown on the transcript as "W". If schedule changes are not handled within the stated time limits, students are subject to receive a failing grade in the courses for which they are officially enrolled. Students will not receive credit for courses attended without official registration.
