Dropping/Adding a class

At the beginning of each semester during the Drop/Add period students may drop a course without a grade on self-service or with the assistance of the Registrar’s Office by providing a request in writing via email or in person. Students may voluntarily withdraw from a course and receive a grade of “W” up to the date indicated on the College calendar for the academic session in progress. No student may withdraw from a course after that date.

Full time and part-time residential students may add a class through the last day of the Drop/Add.

A student in the Abbey Distance Program may add a class up until the second night of each eight-week session. Students enrolled in a 16-week session (with class meeting one night per week) may or drop classes according to the drop/add schedule outlined above.

All students who receive approval to drop or add classes should meet with their academic advisor. Students may drop or add a class on Self Service, by emailing the Registrar’s office and copying their advisork, or by filling out a Drop/Add form and handing the form in at the Registrar’s Office.

The Registrar’s Office will then notify the Financial Aid and Business Offices of the changes. If the Drop/Add change creates an additional charge, that charge must be paid before the student is permitted to attend class. If the Drop/Add results in a change to a student’s financial aid, the Financial Aid Office will notify the student in writing. Students are responsible for tuition fees related to the portion of the class they attended, even if they later withdraw from the course. Because it is the responsibility of each student receiving aid to educate themselves on the balance they will owe for a course prior to withdrawing from a class, they are strongly encouraged to ask the Financial Aid Office how the Drop/Add will affect their financial aid before making the change.
