How do I Drop a Class? | Student Advising

To drop a class without it appearing on your transcript and with a refund (where eligible), you must drop it through Student Home by the Last Day to drop course(s) without receiving a grade and with a refund (this is generally the 10th day of classes in an academic session). You will not get a refund after this deadline.

After this deadline, you are still eligible to drop a class for a grade of DNC using a timetable change form by the Last Day to drop course(s) and receive a DNC (did not complete) grade. A DNC grade does stay on your transcript but has no impact on your grade point average.

You cannot drop a course after the DNC deadline.

Be aware that different deadlines apply depending on whether the course is Session 1 (full term), Session 7S1 (first half of term), or Session 7S2 (second half of term).

If you are thinking about dropping a course at any point, it is recommended to first talk with your student adviser to see if there are alternate options and to make sure you understand the implications of dropping the course for your academic progress.

Please note that dropping courses can have implications for your study status (full vs. part time) and/or your OSAP eligibility.
