Fall/Spring Terms Summer Terms Length of Term (weeks) Census Date (class day) Length of Term (weeks) Census Date (class day) 2 or less 1st class day 2 or less 1st class day 3 2nd 3 2nd 4 3rd 4 3rd 5-6 4th 5-6 4th 7 5th 7 5th 8 6th 8 6th 9-10 7th 9 7th 11 8th 10 or more 12th 12 9th 13-14 10th 15 11th 16 12th Official Drop and Withdrawal Dates The last day to add or drop a course without possible penalty or without having the course listed on the academic transcript is the census date above. The last day to withdraw from a full semester course is ten business days prior to the last class day. The last day to withdraw from courses less than a full semester is seven business days prior to the last class day. Please verify the course withdrawal date with the instructor, as dates may need to be adjusted due to holidays. The course will be listed on the academic transcript with a W. In order to add, drop or withdraw from a course, a student must meet with his/her Faculty Advisor to complete and sign a Request for Class Schedule Change & Withdrawal Grade Assignment Form. Students are not permitted to drop or withdraw from the last course on their schedule, as that is considered withdrawing from the term (instead of dropping or withdrawing from a class). Please remember that dropping a course can affect financial aid. Revised 7/10/15 1 P a g e
