First semester students making changes in registration (drop, add, or both) must complete the change with a standard office form bearing course numbers and all required signatures.  All other students may make changes to their schedule via the web until the close of registration.  After that date, students must visit the Registrar's Office to complete drop procedures.  Not attending class or simply notifying the teacher of intent to drop a course is insufficient procedure and may result in the recording of "F" grades for a semester’s work. Students are reminded that a date shortly after mid-term grade distribution is designated as the final date for dropping courses without penalty.

Grades of "W" are recorded for all semester courses dropped after the first week of classes and before the mid-term date. Full tuition is not refunded after registration. Boarding students may generally not reduce their total course load below 12 semester hours.
