LAST DAY
TO ADD A CLASS:
Eighth class day after the beginning of the semester. Even at this
time, you will have some major catching up to do if you begin a
new course! It is clearly to your advantage to begin a class at
the beginning, so if you think you might want to take a course,
even if you’re unsure, go ahead and register for it right
away. It is much easier on you to drop a course than to add one.

day to register for Special, Directed, or Independent Study:
End of two full weeks
from the beginning of the semester.

Last
day to drop a class:
The 20th class day after the beginning of the semester.

of classes.
