Graduate Student Add/Drop & Withdrawal Schedule

All students, regardless of program, are required to speak with their Course Faculty and Faculty Advisor/or Specialty Director prior to course withdrawal to ensure there is complete understanding regarding its effect on their academic plan of study and a new plan can be developed. For graduate students, prerequisite courses will not be waived in the absence of an established plan developed in collaboration with the Specialty Director prior to course withdrawal. Because all courses are not offered every semester, it is possible a student will have to wait more than one semester to reenroll in the course. For some students this may delay academic progression and anticipated program completion.
