Dropping and adding courses is the process of changing your term enrollment — only after you have already registered. If you have not registered for any courses during a given term and decide to enroll after the start of the term, you may still use Web Registration, but you will be subject to a $50 late registration fee.
-
Degree seeking students can drop/add an online course during the first two weeks of a term. Students should log on to Student Web Services to complete enrollment changes.
-
Special students limited can drop/add an online course by getting the faxable drop/add form (found under "FORMS") and submiting it directly to the Office of Records and Registration at 410-955-0464.
Drop/Add Dates
Dropping Courses
-
Dropping a course during the first two weeks will result in the dropped course being removed from your academic record, and you will receive a full refund.
-
Courses dropped after the end of the drop/add period are not subject to a refund, and your transcript will reflect a "W" indicating your withdraw from the course.
-
No course can be dropped during the last two weeks of the course.
Adding Courses
-
When adding a course, you must attach permission from the teaching faculty to add the course after the start date. If you owe tuition for the additional credits, you must log into Student Web Services to view and pay your bill, or submit a check:

Dropping Multi-Term Courses
- When dropping a multi-term course during the drop/add period of the first term/section of the course, you are relieved of your financial and academic obligation to the subsequent sections of the course as well.
- When dropping a multi-term course during the drop/add period of the later term/section of the course (you must also submit a form for withdrawal from the first term/section of the course), you will receive a refund for that term/section only. The current term will be removed from your academic transcript; however, the previous term/section will reflect a "W" indicating your withdraw from that section of the course.
Withdrawing From A Course
Student Web Services is only available through the end of the drop/add period. Courses dropped after the end of the drop/add period are not subject to a refund, and your transcript will reflect a "W" indicating your withdraw from the course. In order to withdraw from a course after the drop/add deadline, you must submit a faxable form to the Office of Records and Registration at 410-955-0464. Click here to get the form for withdrawal.
