Deadlines regarding the adding or dropping of courses appear in the Deadlines at a Glance document on the Office of the Registrar’s website.
Procedure to Drop a Required Course
A School of Pharmacy student may not make a change to his or her schedule of required courses unless permission has been granted by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. A student who wishes to drop a required course at any time must, in consultation with his or her advisor, complete the School of Pharmacy Request for Permission to Drop a Required Course Form. The completed form will be forwarded by the advisor to the associate dean for discussion and review. Depending on the circumstances, the advisor may schedule a meeting to discuss the situation with the student and the associate dean. The course instructor will also be contacted. Permission to drop a required course may be granted due to illness, family emergencies, or other extenuating circumstances.
Late Add and Late Drop Procedures
A student may not add or drop any course beyond the indicated deadlines unless permission has been received from his/her advisor. A student who wishes to add a course to his/her schedule after the add deadline must see his/her advisor. This same procedure applies when a student wishes to drop a course after the deadline.
