A set timeline for making changes to your schedule each semester is outlined in the course catalog. The Registrar’s Office sends regular email reminders of these dates throughout the year.
Plan Ahead Registration
Students must meet with their faculty advisor to discuss schedule choices, and degree requirements and to obtain an alternate PIN required for web registration.
November and April, after Plan Ahead course requests are processed, be sure to read and follow the instructions sent by the Registrar's Office.
Students may register for up to 2.25 units/18 semester hours during this time.
End of the Semester Drop/Add Period
This is a five-day drop/add period for the upcoming semester during the final week of classes. All changes during this period must be done on the Enrollment Change Request Form and be submitted at the Registrar's Office. The form must include your advisor's signature.
Drop/Add Period
First seven class days of the semester. Students may make adjustments to schedules throughout this period. The advisor's signature is required for all changes. Dropped courses disappear from the record completely during this period. Use the Enrollment Change Request Form for any changes.
Individual Studies and requests to audit a course may only be submitted during the first seven class days.
Students who may be sitting in on a class, but still deciding whether to take the course, should register to audit the course during the first seven class days to avoid fees.
Late Add Period
Eighth class day through the third week of the semester. Students may add courses that they have been attending through the third week of the semester with the signatures of both the instructor and advisor. A $35 late course change fee will be charged. Use the Enrollment Change Request Form for any late add requests in this period.
Withdraw (WD) Period
Eighth class day through the eighth week of the semester. Students may withdraw from a class through the eighth week of the semester with the signature of the instructor and advisor as long as doing so does not drop their course load below the minimum 1.75 units/14 semester hours for the semester. A $35 late course change fee will be charged, and a WD will appear on the academic record. Use the Enrollment Change Request Form to WD from any courses during this time period.
Pass/D/Fail Period
First eight weeks of the semester. Students may change a course grade mode to and from a pass/D/ fail with approval and signature from the instructor and the signature of the advisor. Students may use the pass/D/fail option up to 3.00 units/24 semester hours of the 16.00 units/128 semester hours required for graduation.
Use the Enrollment Change Request Form for all grade mode changes.
See the Course Catalog for full details regarding pass/D/fail.
