Drop/Add

At any time after you have registered for a semester, you may drop or add courses by signing in using your ASURITE ID or in person at any registration location through the published drop/add deadline. During this time, you may drop one or more, but not all scheduled courses. Courses that are dropped will not appear on your transcript and any fees paid will be refunded. Should you wish to drop your last or only course or all courses, you must process a complete withdrawal.

Instructor-Initiated Drop Option

The instructor of a course has full authority within departmental or other higher-level policies to decide whether or not class attendance is required. During the second week of classes in Fall or Spring, or the first four days of each Summer Session, the instructor can drop a student for nonattendance.

In classes which are full, this will allow accommodation of other students requesting the class and help instructors avoid excessive overrides.

Instructor-initiated drops for nonattendance must be based upon concrete evidence of nonattendance and be signed by the Dean or Dean's Designee in the college offering the course. The college will notify the student by mail at the student's currently posted mailing address. Nothing in this policy contradicts any other policy regarding attendance, religious holidays, or the student(s) responsibility to notify the instructor in case of absences.

Note: Students should be aware that nonattendance will not automatically result in being dropped. Instructors have the right to exercise this option at their discretion. It is also the student's responsibility to contact the instructor before the end of the first week of classes if absences during that period cannot be avoided.
