Changes to a class schedule after the initial drop/add period, including adding/dropping 4th quarter classes, require students to navigate to their "Class Schedule" in WesPortal and follow directions on how to correct their schedule. All requests will need to go through the workflow for consideration. Students will receive an email when the request is either fully approved and processed, or denied at any stage of the process. FACULTY can review pending requests by clicking on the link they receive via email or simply clicking this link.

Correcting an Incorrect Schedule

INSTRUCTIONS DURING DROP/ADD

All schedule changes for a current semester should be made during drop/add. Once your schedule is correct, you can confirm your schedule, which will prevent any further changes from being made to your schedule, including preventing professors from accepting any pending enrollment requests. If you've confirmed your schedule and later want to make additional changes, you can un-confirm your schedule, return to drop/add, and resume making adjustments. You may need to refresh your browser. Be sure to re-confirm your schedule once you are satisfied with it.

INSTRUCTIONS AFTER DROP/ADD

The academic calendar includes important course registration dates and deadlines that students are expected to follow. If extenuating circumstances prevent a student from adhering to these deadlines, they may request late changes to their academic record/course schedule via WesPortal. The link is only available during the current semester.

Academic/Class Schedule Change Form:

Students may submit electronic requests for changes to their academic history/class schedule after the drop/add deadline via WesPortal, through their Class Schedule page. Students may petition for:

  • late adds for courses and tutorials
  • late drops for courses and tutorials
  • other late changes not covered above

Through this platform, students may also:

  • submit withdrawal requests before the withdrawal deadline
  • submit changes to their 2nd or 4th quarter classes during the approved timeline for changes

Once a student submits a change request, the request goes through an automatic workflow for review. Students can view the status of their requests at any time, and final decisions will be sent via email. You will be notified via email if the request is denied at any stage of the workflow, or once it has received final approval and is processed in the system. Individual approvals do not constitute a final decision, they simply continue the request to the next stage of the workflow. Final approval can only be granted by the Operational Committee for undergraduate students, or the Office of Graduate Student Services for graduate students in the PhD, MA, BA/MA, or FLTA programs.

Technical questions regarding the WesPortal app can be directed to the Registrar's Office. Questions regarding the general petition process can be directed to your class dean for undergraduate students or the Office of Graduate Student Services for graduate students in the PhD, MA, BA/MA, or FLTA programs.

Should your petition be successful, you will need to go back to the Class Schedule page in WesPortal and click "Schedule is Correct" once your schedule has been adjusted.
