Refer to the Semester Calendar & Exam Schedules for registration dates to Add, Drop, or Withdraw courses.  A student may schedule as many as 18 semester hours without special permission unless otherwise restricted by Advisement. You can make changes to your schedule online in PAWS until the last day of Late Registration. Students who wait until Late Registration to register for classes will incur a fee of $50. A student may appeal to add a class after late registration has ended. If the appeal is approved, the student will be charged a $37.50 manual schedule adjustment fee in addition to tuition and fees. This fee is charged for each appeal approved. Appeals should be directed to the department that teaches the course. If a student decides not to attend the course once the appeal has been approved and added to the student’s schedule, the student must officially withdraw from the course on PAWS, prior to the semester midpoint. Students may not appeal to faculty to have a course dropped. If an administrative academic error has occurred, students should contact the academic department offering the course for a resolution.
