Academic Dates and Deadlines

Deadlines related to class enrollment

There are deadlines each semester to:

• Add a class
• Drop a class
• Swap sections of a class
• Withdraw from a class (in some cases a “W” will be next to the course on your transcript)
• Change a class to repeat forgive
• Withdraw from the university without incurring tuition costs

These deadlines can be found on the Registrar’s Enrollment Dates and Deadlines site. Click on the Comprehensive Information for the semester and year that you are seeking.
