NOTE: DEADLINES ARE FIRM AND APPLY TO ALL STUDENTS.
Adding Courses After Initial Registration and Before Classes Begin
If you wish to add a course after you have registered and until the drop/add deadline, you will not be charged a change of course fee.
Procedure:
- You may add courses online through BlazerNET. If you have special circumstances and need to register in person, you may do so at Room 204 HUC. Registration forms are available in the lobby.
Adding Courses After Classes Begin
Beginning the first day of class (see Academic Calendar), you will not be charged a change of course fee as long as you have previously registered during early or open registration. If you have not previously registered, you will be charged a $25 late registration fee beginning on the first day of class.
Procedure:
- You may register for courses online through BlazerNET. Any applicable fees will be automatically charged upon your course submissions. Please keep in mind that instructor permission is required to add a course if the class has met its seat capacity, i.e. if there is a “C” on the Class Search page. You will need to bring a signed drop/add form to the Registrar’s Office, Room 204 HUC to add a closed class. All students in the School of Engineering and the School of Public Health must also have their advisor’s permission to add a course.
Dropping Courses
If you wish to drop a course for which you have registered, you may do so online through BlazerNET until the last drop/add date. You will not be charged a drop fee if completed before the drop/add deadline (given that registration was completed before classes began). Please see the Academic Calendar for applicable dates.
You cannot withdraw by simply not attending classes!
Procedure:
- Conduct all registration through BlazerNET. Some schools require permission to drop a course. If you are unable to drop online, please see your advisor.
Withdrawal
Removing yourself from a course is considered a withdrawal anytime after the drop/add deadline through the withdrawal deadline. If you withdraw from a course, you are still responsible for all tuition and fees associated with the course(s).You will receive a “W” on your academic transcript for each withdrawn course. Please see the Academic Calendar for all dates. You may withdraw from classes online with one exception. If you are withdrawing from all courses, you must do so in person at the Registrar’s Office, Room 207 HUC.
NOTE: In extraordinary circumstances, if it is impossible for you to follow normal procedures, you may mail or fax (205-975-6168) a letter to the registrar, giving your current address and stating your intent to withdraw. Provided that the withdrawal would not violate any academic rules, your request will be honored, and the official date of withdrawal will be the date your letter is received in the Registrar's Office. A withdrawal validation will be mailed back to the student's address of record. Withdrawal is not complete until the student receives the validation, which should be carefully retained. If the withdrawal validation is not received, the student is responsible for contacting the Registrar's Office before the deadline to withdraw.
