Students may add or drop courses online before the official start date of each term. Students may make program changes until the end of the Program Change period without incurring any fees. Dates for the Program Change period are listed on the Academic Calendar. During the official Program Change period, students make all changes by following this procedure: obtain a Program Change form in the Center for Student Services; consult with an advisor; obtain the advisor’s signature; and return the form to the Center for Student Services for processing. After the official Program Change period ends, there is a charge of $30 for every program change transaction made. Students may not add courses once the Program Change period has ended; however, they may continue to drop courses without a grade according to dates published in the Academic Calendar. Note that graduating seniors may not change their major(s), minor(s), and/or concentration(s) after the end of the Program Change period during their final semester of study. And they should only make other program changes after consultation with their advisors since this could impact their graduation status.
Students who shift their credit load for the semester from full- to part-time* will be charged forfeiture, according to the College’s Tuition Cancellation Policy. Similarly, students who drop all of the courses in their semester program will be charged tuition and fees according to the College’s Tuition Cancellation Policy. (See Student Account Section.) For these students, financial aid will be recalculated for the semester.
*International Students on an F-1 visa must pursue a full course of study. Under special circumstances may an F-1 visa student enroll part-time. For more information, international students should consult with the International Student Services advisor before making any program changes.
