Drop/Add Deadlines

Normally, a student may add or swap a course through the 10th lecture day of the term and drop a course from the academic record through the 15th lecture day. A course dropped from the 16th lecture day through to the 50th lecture day will remain on the academic record with a grade of WD. A course dropped after the 50th lecture day will remain on the record with a grade of WF. Students cannot drop a course during the final examination period. Specific dates can be found in the Calendar of Events and Academic Deadlines.

Add and drop periods may be adjusted for courses shorter than the 12-week formal lecture period.
