Drop/Add and Course registration – Spring 2023
Review your Fall 2022 grades and adjust your Spring 2023 course registration as needed during the drop/add period.Review checksheets from previous advising appointments in Campus Connect or consult yourAcademic Requirements Reportto to check your requirements.
Spring 2023 drop/add begins Saturday, January 7, at 12:01 am EST and ends Thursday, January 12, at 11:59 pm EST.The first day of classes is Monday, January 9.
Students who have not registered for at least one (1) credit hour prior January 9, at 12:00 am EST, will be charged a $100 late registration fee. Any appeals or disputes about this fee must be made to the University Registrar’s office, not academic advisors or the Academic Affairs office.
Schedules will be final, and students will be both grade and fee liable for any courses on their schedule after drop/add ends.
Advising pro-tip:Many students try to register or change courses as soon as drop/add begins and on the first day of classes. Student Center may experience registration errors or slow loading at peak times. This is especially common on the first day of drop/add as registration opens at 12:01 am usually through 2:00 am or later and on the first day of classes from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm or later.
