Dropping & Withdrawing From Classes

Important: To drop or withdraw from classes on your study list, you must be in the Enrollment function. If you click on Study List in the Courses & Grade menu, you will not see the Drop Classes link at the top of your study list as shown in Step 1 below.

You cannot drop a class if it will put you below the mininum number of units for your academic career. If you wish to swap a class, first add the class you want, then drop the class you do not want.

After the drop deadline has passed (see deadlines at left), dropping a class results in a W (Withdrew) grade. The class is not removed from your study list.

Step 1: Click the Drop Classes link

Step 2: Select classes to drop, then click Submit

Use the checkboxes to indicate which classes to drop. "Pending" means no action has been taken for the class; the class will not be dropped if you do not check the box.

Step 3: View results

The Drop Status column shows the result of each of your requests:

Success: The class has been dropped from your study list. If you see "Success / Messages," click on it to read the message.

Errors found: The class has not been dropped. Click on the error link to read the error message.

Pending: No action was taken for this class. It was not be dropped and will not be dropped unless you return to Step 2 and check the box..
