Add/Drop Policy

You must attend every class listed on your schedule. If you don't want to take a particular class, you must officially drop it or withdraw from it. Stopping attendance or never going does not constitute official drop or withdrawal.

Dropping/Withdrawing from a Class

All students must be enrolled in at least 12 units to be eligible for athletics, financial aid, and international student attendance. If you want to drop a class, you must:

• Check with the following offices that apply to you: Financial Aid (650-543-3880), Athletic Department (650-543-3853), and/or International Student Advising (650-543-3831) to make sure you will still be eligible.
• Discuss the class you want to drop with your Academic Advisor. Your Academic Advisor must sign your Add/Drop Slip.
• Fill out the Add/Drop Slip (list all of the info of the class you want to drop: the code, the section number and title).
• Turn in the Add/Drop Slip to the Office of the Registrar for processing.

If you just stop attending and don't drop or withdraw by the deadlines established in the Academic Calendar you will receive an F.

Adding a Class

If you want to add another class to your schedule, you must do the following:

1. Discuss the class you want to take with your Academic Advisor. Your Academic Advisor must sign your Add/Drop Slip.
2. Fill out the Add/Drop Slip (list the info of the new class: code, the section # and title)
3. Get the permission of the instructor of the class you want to add by having them sign an Add/Drop Slip.

Refer to the Academic Calendar for the current term.

Switching a Class

If you are switching the time, teacher or days of a course, you must drop the original class and add the new class.

1. Get the permission of the instructor of the class you want to switch into by having them sign the Add/Drop Slip.
2. Fill out the Add/Drop Slip (make sure to list all of the information of both the new class and old class: the code, section # and title)
3. Turn in the Add/Drop Slip to the Office of the Registrar for processing.

It is not recommended to drop a class until you know that you can add a new class to take its place.
