Class drop policy changed

Starting this fall all students – except law students – will have far less time to drop a class.

Under a new policy approved by Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Richard Lariviere, the last day to drop classes is the 60th day of class. This fall that date is Nov. 13.

Dropped courses will no longer affect a student's grade point average. Details and deadlines for the fall and spring semester are online at the Registrar's web site.
