Drop Deadline Information

ABSOLUTE Last Day to DROP a COURSE (petition required) – FRIDAY, November 18th (4:00pm)

If you wish to drop a course, it will be necessary to submit a completed add/drop slip and petition form; a “W” will appear on your transcript next to the course. The add/drop slip must be stamped/initialed by the department that offers the course and the petition form must be signed by your faculty advisor—therefore it is important that you give yourself enough time to procure the stamps and signature by the deadline.  Submit add/drop slips and petition forms to the Engineering Registrar’s Office in 158 Olin Hall.

REQUESTS FOR EXTENSIONS TO DROP

We are aware that there are some prelims late in the term and the results may influence your decision to drop a course.  Please check your evening prelim schedule now at

OR
