Add, Drop and Course Withdrawal

Drop

Removing one or more (but not all) courses from your academic schedule or specific part of the term is considered dropping a course. All course drops must be completed in BOSS. A grade of “W” will be received after the registration adjustment period has ended.

Withdrawal

Removing all courses from your academic schedule or a specific part of the term is considered a withdrawal.  A grade of “W” will be received for the final course from which you withdraw during the late registration/adjustment period and for all courses you withdraw from after the late registration period has ended.

How do I Drop/Withdraw?

You must make your request through BOSS. Drop/Withdrawal requests made through email or phone will not be accepted.

During adjustment period (ends last day of late registration)

To determine this date please refer to the current academic calendar.

Note: You can drop all but your final course in this manner. In order to adjust your schedule you will need to:

  • Log into your BOSS account
  • Select Student Services from the options given
