How Do I Process an Administrative Drop Request?

January 27, 2023

Note: This guide is designed for a special role. Please speak with your college leadership and submit an access request form if you need access to this role.

Introduction

To process an Administrative Drop request, you will need to take action in both OnBase and my.SDSU. This guide will take you through completing the Administrative Drop process in both systems.

Quick Enroll is the process used in my.SDSU to assist a student in enrolling, dropping, or swapping classes.  Administrative Drops utilize the drop feature only.

Instructions

Faculty requests for Administrative Drops which have been approved by the appropriate college designee will appear in OnBase.

  1. On the OnBase desktop application or web page, select the appropriate queue beginning with the prefix REG25 under Life Cycle View on the left side of the page.

        An error has occurred and the enrollment request was not processed. To review the details of the error, select the red Error message. The Error Message Text will provide additional information on why the request was not processed. 

        One example of an Error is Already in Drop Status. The Message Text reads: “The requested drop transaction was not processed. The class is already in drop status for the term specified. Verify the term and class number, and resubmit the request.” This Error message means that the student has already dropped themselves from the course.
