NOTE: One credit, 3-week courses have drop dates that correspond with the three-week period which they are offered. The enrollment dates to not begin and end with the dates the course begin and ends, but the first day of that enrollment period is Monday of the week the course begins and the last day of that enrollment period is Friday or the week the course ends. In other words, three week courses have 15 days in them and enrollment deadlines correspond with those days regardless of the meeting dates of the course. Courses may be added thru day 3 of that three week period. Courses may be dropped thru day 8 of that three week period to avoid a "W" grade. Courses may be dropped thru day 10 of that three week period. No dropping 3-week courses after the 10th day of that enrollment period.
^Some faculty may require an earlier deadline for incomplete coursework. Extensions beyond the published deadline are only granted under rare circumstances and through prior petition by the Committee on Advanced Standing and Degrees. Forms available online and in Founders Hall.
*Non-degree students must have all materials submitted for application by above deadlines (application, high school or college transcript, etc.) Registration takes place on-campus and in-person by appointment only.
