The University designates a Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Period during which you can make schedule changes through which are consistent with the academic plan developed with your academic advisor. This time period is critical if you are considering making adjustments to your scheduled classes. Awareness of the dates help you to be proactive in preserving your academic record and financial obligations.
When is the Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Period?
In a regular semester (spring or fall), the Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Period ends on the fifth (5th) day of classes; in a summer session or part of term course, this period ends on the third (3rd) day of classes. Specific dates for each semester can be found in the appropriate Academic Calendar.

Add a Course?
After the designated period for schedule adjustments, you may not add classes via ULink. To add a course to an existing schedule after the Schedule Adjustment (Drop/Add) Period, you will need to initiate a Late Schedule Adjustment card in your academic dean's office. This card will require the signature of the instructor and department head of the course, as well as your academic dean's signature, before the card can be processed by the Registrar's Office and the course added to your schedule.
