What if you sign up for a class you don't like? How can you get into a class you need to fulfill a general education requirements?  Here's the rundown:

After registering and through the first seven (7) instructional days of the semester (or equivalent for summer), students may use Cyberbear to add courses or change sections and credits; through the first fifteen (15) instructional days of the semester (or equivalent for summer), students may use Cyberbear to drop courses. Fees are reassessed on the sixteenth day of the term. Added courses and credits may result in additional fees. For courses dropped by the fifteenth instructional day, no fees are charged and courses are not recorded. (For deadlines and refund policy for withdrawal from all courses, see the Withdrawal sections of the catalog.)

The Office of the Registrar has previously required paper forms for students to add, drop, or change classes after the 15^th instructional day (or equivalent for summer). Workflow now allows students to collect the required permissions to complete a registration change without paper.

Beginning the sixteenth (16) instructional day of the semester through the forty-fifth (45) instructional day (or equivalent for summer), students use the Course Add Change Drop link in Cyberbear under Student Services to drop or add a course, make changes of section, and change grade/credit options. For instructions on how a student submits a Course Add Change Drop request in Cyberbear visit this link to the Registrar's Office.

A $10.00 processing fee is charged for each drop/add request that is approved. Added courses and credits may result in additional fees. There are no refunds or reductions of fees for courses dropped and grades of W (withdrew) are recorded.

Beginning the forty-sixth (46) instructional day of the semester through the last day of instruction before scheduled final examinations, students use the Course Add Change Drop link in Cyberbear to drop or add a course, make changes of section, and change grade/credit options. However, if a student submits a request to drop a course after the 45^th instructional day of the semester, Workflow requires approval not only from the instructor of the course and the student’s advisor, but also from the Dean(designee) of the student’s major. A $10.00 processing fee is charged for each approved request. There are no refunds or reductions of fees for courses dropped, and the instructor assigns a grade of WP (withdrew/passing) if the student's course work has been passing or a WF (withdrew/failing) if the course work has been failing. These grades do not affect grade averages but they are recorded on students' transcripts.

The opportunity to drop a course for the current term for such a course ends on the last day of instruction before scheduled final exams. Dropping a course taken in a previous term or altering grading option or audit status for such a course is not allowed. The only exceptions are for students who have received a grade of NF (never attended).

Contact the Registrar's Office at (406) 243-5600 or your advisor if you have further questions.
