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.
Drop/Add Process
Students must first click the "Enroll Me" button in their WesPortal before they will be permitted to participate in drop/add.
For assistance with drop/add, please review our Video Guide to Drop/Add. You're also welcome to send an email directly to the Registrar's Office. Also review the Drop/Add Frequently Asked Questions,as well as a FAQ Guide (pdf) for students, faculty, and advisors.
Drop/Add Request Limit to Unranked Requests
- In addition to the ranked drop/add requests submitted during pre-registration, students will now be able to submit a max of six unranked course requests. (Students can submit multiple sections of one course.)
- Once a student reaches the limit of six, the "Add to My Courses" button no longer appears for courses in Drop/Add. An outstanding request will need to be canceled to submit an additional request.
- Students can confirm their schedules during the drop/add period.
- Once a schedule is confirmed:
- no additional requests can be submitted,
- any pending requests can no longer be approved by the professors, and
- enrolled courses cannot be dropped.
- If additional changes are required, a student can un-confirm their schedule.
- These changes are dynamic.
- Once a schedule is confirmed:
- If a student has reached the maximum number of drop/add requests and/or has confirmed their schedule, the student can still:
- submit tutorial requests
- cancel requests
- change crosslisting
- change grading mode
- change GenEd designation
For Instructors
- In course management, students who have confirmed their schedules will be marked as such and can no longer be added to the class list.
Drop/add will begin one week before the semester starts. During drop/add students may enroll in more than 4.00 full credit courses with the permission of their advisor, who will need to increase their credit limit electronically.
The ranked drop/add requests which students made during pre-registration will appear in the drop/add system and are used by instructors to admit students to courses. Students may also make unranked drop/add requests once drop/add opens. During drop/add instructors determine who may be admitted to the course. Advisors must approve individual drops and adds. The drop/add system allows students to submit drop/add requests on-line. Instructors accept drop/add requests electronically and drop students who do not attend the first class meeting. Advisors are able to review and approve drop/adds electronically. An e-mail notification system informs students, faculty and advisors of daily drop/add activity.
Please note that electronic Permission of Instructor and Pre-requisite Override requests are NOT needed during drop/add.
Grading mode changes for 'Student Option' non-tutorial courses may be changed up until fourteen days after drop/add ends via WesPortal>Courses>Schedule.
Crosslistings and GenEd Designations must be chosen by the end of drop/add.
When a 2nd/4th Quarter course has multiple general educational area assignments (NSM, SBS, HA), a student must select one general education area assignment during the five working days following the first class meeting by submitting an academic schedule change form via WesPortal.
