Deadlines for adding or dropping courses can be found on the Office of the Registrar’s website.
Procedure to Drop a Required Course
Students may not drop a required course unless permission has been granted by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs or the Student Promotion and Academic Review Committee (SPARC). Additional information can be found in the Advanced Standing Transfer and Readmission Policy.
Late Add and Late Drop Procedure
The deadlines to add and drop courses are listed on the Office of the Registrar’s website. Students may not add or drop any course beyond the indicated deadlines unless permission has been granted by their advisor. After receiving approval, students must submit a Course Change Request through their MyUW Student Center.
The completed form must be saved and permission from the instructor must be emailed to the academic advisor for final approval.

All enrolled credits count toward the 18-credit limit, including required courses, pass/fail courses, audited courses, and courses outside the School of Pharmacy. To request approval, students should submit a Credit Overload Request Form.
