Late Drops

Late Drop Policy

Requests to drop a course after the standard 10 or 20-day deadline require approval by advisors in the Business Advising Office (BAO). These petitions are considered only under specific unexpected circumstances beyond the student’s control, and must include thorough supporting documentation. Examples include:

• Death in the immediate family or a significant increase in family care responsibilities.
• A substantial and necessary increase in work hours.
• Medical issues, verified by the Student Health and Counseling Services or a licensed physician.
• Serious personal issues, documented by a qualified professional.
• Other situations deemed to be of equal gravity.

If you believe your situation aligns with one of the approved categories, please consult with your BAO advisor before submitting a petition.

Please note: Late drops will not be approved for reasons such as poor academic performance, difficulty understanding course material, a change in interest, or lack of midterm feedback.
