Drop/Add Procedure

Through the third week of classes in a full term, students may add, drop or modify a course via Wolverine Access. A student who wants to drop the only course for which they are registered must follow the term withdrawal procedures posted on the central Registrar’s Office website.

After the third week in a full term students must obtain the signatures of their instructor, advisor and school registrar as approval to drop, add or modify a course. The form that is required to be used is a drop/add form and these can be obtained by seeing the School Registrar in SPH. Once the form has all three signatures, the student will need to take the form to the central Registrar’s Office with picture id. Any class dropped after the third week will result in a grade of “W” for that course. Courses cannot be dropped or added after the last day of classes. A student may petition to drop/add a course after the last day of classes by filling out this form (PDF, 26KB).
