Administrative Drop

What is it?

Administrative Drop is a procedure that offers instructors the option of making enrollment in a course contingent upon the following:

• the student's attendance at specified class meetings, and/or
• proof of having satisfied the enrollment requirements

Instructors are not required to drop students for non-attendance or lack of enrollment requirements; however, important benefits include:

• opens up seats for other students
• ensures that students are not awarded financial aid that must later be returned upon discovery that the student did not attend

Request Process

Requests are only accepted during the add/drop period from faculty. After the add/drop period, students will need to Withdraw from the class. For more information on how to do a withdrawal, visit the Course Withdrawal page.
