Add/Drop/Withdrawal

Adding a Course

After you have registered for your classes, course changes can be made on the Student Link for eligible courses/students, or by using a Add/Drop Form.

If you wish to register for a course that is already full, you must obtain the instructor’s permission and signature on the Add/Drop Form. No signature is required for classes with open seats, unless it is noted on the Student Link that permission is required. Submit your signed Add/Drop Form to:
