What is the correct process to add or drop a course after enrollment?

• A. There are no deadlines for adding or dropping courses.
• B. Tuition changes automatically when you add/drop.
• C. Use the registrar system (add/drop) by deadlines; advisor approval may be required; watch for tuition impact.
• D. Add/drop can only be completed during finals week.

Answer: (C)

Managing course changes hinges on using the registrar’s official add/drop system and doing it before the specified deadlines. This process ensures your schedule, tuition, and financial aid are updated correctly. Often an advisor’s approval is needed, especially if the change affects your degree plan or academic progress. You must be aware of tuition impacts—adding can change charges and dropping can affect refunds or aid eligibility—and changes aren’t automatic; you need to submit them through the system. Add/drop typically isn’t limited to finals week; it’s handled during the regular add/drop period, with possible exceptions requiring special approvals.
