Shorten time to graduation ... with Summer Sessions

Drop and Add Policies

After initially registering for classes, a student is free to adjust his/her schedule by adding and dropping courses whenever the eNRoll system is available. Adjustments of tuition and fee charges will be reflected on the consolidated student billings which are generated monthly.

Dates to Add a Course

Pre-Session
March 10-May 20
8-Week Session
March 10-May 22
1st 5-Week Session
March 10-June 11
2nd 5-Week Session
March 10-July 16

Change Course Section

To change a class section before the add deadline for a session, use the eNRoll drop/add process. Be sure there is space available in the new section before dropping the current section. If the summer session has already begun, a request must be processed in person at the Registration and Records Office.

Dates to Drop a Course Without It Appearing on Academic Record

The amount of tuition and fee refund for courses dropped is determined by the date the drop is processed. For a course to not appear on a student's permanent academic record, it must be dropped during the first week of the summer session. The date for each session is:

Pre-Session
May 23
8-Week Session
May 23
1st 5-Week Session
June 13
2nd 5-Week Session
July 18

Withdrawal from a Course

Summer is treated as one term for record keeping purposes. Students who withdraw (drop) from all classes after the beginning of the Pre- and Eight-week sessions will have a term withdrawal notation and the date noted on their academic record (even if no courses are recorded for the summer). Any course withdrawal after the first week of a session will result in a "W" being posted to a student's record for all courses involved. The deadline to withdraw from a course for each summer session is:

Pre-Session
June 4
8-Week Session
June 27
First 5-Week Session
July 2
Second 5-Week Session
August 6

Any withdrawal after these deadlines will only be granted under extraordinary circumstances by petition to the student's Dean's Office.

Effective Date of a Drop or Add

A drop or add becomes effective for tuition and grade purposes on the date the transaction is processed through eNRoll or the form is filed with the Registration and Records Office.
