Policy Set by the Dean

Within Academic Senate guidelines, each academic dean may establish an add/drop policy applicable to majors within that school. Permission to add, drop, or change the grading option may not be allowed after certain dates. You should be aware that most academic units allow late drops only under extraordinary circumstances. Check with an academic counselor in the school of your major regarding their specific add/drop/change policy. Graduate students should contact the Graduate Division.

Policy Set by the Instructor

Instructors may also set their own add/drop/change policy and should announce it during the first week of instruction. The instructor's policy may affect the general deadlines stated in the quarterly calendar with deadlines. Some academic units also have deadlines after which it is no longer possible to change your class enrollment if you are taking a course in that school. When considering a change, first check with the course instructor and the academic unit or school in which you are a major. Graduate students should contact the Graduate Division.
