DROPPING A SUBJECT

The deadlines for dropping a subject from your registration are as follows:

• Add Date is the last day to drop half-term subjects given in first half of the term from your registration.

• Drop Date is the last day to drop all other subjects from your registration.

If you would like

• to drop a subject from your current registration after the Institute deadline has passed or

• to retroactively drop a subject taken during a prior term from your academic record,

you will need to petition the CAP. If you would like to drop a subject in which you have received an Incomplete, you should petition to drop an Incomplete.

To Petition to Drop a Subject Late

• Review our petition process, which includes information about signatures and
  statements, extenuating circumstances, petition deadlines and petition review.

• Download a Late Drop form, explain your request in a brief statement, obtain appropriate signatures and statements from Institute personnel, and submit your request to the CAP Office.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the CAP.
