Schedule Adjustments

Students may view an updated list of open,cancelled, and closed classes at: http://www.humboldt.edu/~oaa/classes.shtml or by clicking on Class Schedule under Quick Links on the Humboldt home page at http://www.humboldt.edu. Schedule adjustments may be made by using WebReg.

Adding Courses
During the first four weeks of classes, all adds can be done by the student via web registration. Instructor approval is NOT required for students to enroll in open classes during the first week of instruction, except for those that require special approval. Instructor approval is required (with a Magic Number) for students to enroll in any class beginning the second week of instruction. During the third and fourth weeks of instruction, a $2.00 Late Add fee is assessed for each course added.

Courses cannot be added after the fourth week of classes (see Calendar of Activities and Deadlines for deadline dates). After the fourth week, approval to add courses will be granted only with verification that the course is necessary for the student to graduate at the end of the current semester. Instructor, department chair, and college dean signatures are required.

When adding courses with lecture, lab and/or activity/discussion links, all courses/sections must be added in web registration.

Dropping Courses
During the first four weeks of instruction, students may drop a class from their schedule via web registration without obtaining instructor approval and no notation for the drop will be recorded on the student’s academic record. During the third and fourth weeks of class, a $2.00 late drop fee is assessed for each course dropped. After the first four weeks of classes, instructor, department chair approval, and serious and compelling reason is required on the schedule adjustment form available from the Academic Information & Referral (AIR) Center, SBS 133. The student must submit the completed form in person to the AIR Center. A “W” grade is recorded on the academic record and a $10.00 fee will be charged per course. The final drop deadline is the end of the twelfth week of classes (see Calendar of Activities and Deadlines in this Class Schedule & Registration Guide for deadline dates).

As a matter of university policy, the instructor in the course may not drop on behalf of the student. Even if the course appears on the student’s schedule as the result of an error, it is still the responsibility of the student to drop the course. Instructors will not officially drop a student from the class roster because the student failed to attend the first week of classes, nor will the student be automatically dropped by non-attendance. See Attendance section of the Class Schedule & Registration Guide.

When dropping a course that requires a lab or activity, both the lecture and the lab/activity must be dropped at the same time.

NOTE: When you drop all of your classes using web registration, the information is relayed to the Office of the Registrar. You will be withdrawn from the university. The date on which the drop process is completed is the effective date used for official records in the Registrar’s Office, Financial Aid, and Student Financial Services. Many students, however, must also complete various exit procedures with offices on campus. We strongly encourage students that are considering withdrawing to visit the AIR Center or the Advising Center, SBS 295, for a full discussion of the withdrawal procedure. Following the complete withdrawal procedure ensures that outstanding issues are dealt with in advance of leaving the university.

Add/Drop forms are available at the AIR Center, SBS 133.
