Classes

If your class schedule included PE 101, you should report to the PE station to choose your specific course. This station will be in the University Center on dates, times, and location to be announced.

You must attend only the classes which are on your class schedule.  If you find it necessary to change or drop a class, you must fill out a Drop/Add form, which can be obtained from your advisor (who must sign your form). On September 5, after meeting with your advisor, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., you can make changes to your course schedule in designated computer labs where there will be staff and current students available to help you. If you wish to withdraw from a course after the Drop/Add period, the course instructor must also sign the Drop/Add form. You must then bring the form to the Enrollment Services Center in Lipka Hall. This is the only way to change or withdraw from a class after September 5. 
 
It is your responsibility to verify that your are officially registered for all the classes you are attending and that you officially drop or withdraw from any class which you do not attend. 

If you attend a class for which you are not officially registered, you will not receive credit for the class.  If you stop attending a class for which you are officially registered, but do not withdraw from the class, you will receive an “F”.
