How Do I Request an Administrative Enrollment Drop?

INTRODUCTION

Note: Your screen may look different from the screenshots in this article.

An administrative enrollment drop is initiated when a Faculty Member requests that a student be dropped from a class. Per Senate Policy, Faculty can submit a request for an administrative enrollment drop from a course for the following reasons:

1. The student is not in attendance at the first class meeting and is also 
   not present at the start of the second class meeting.
   
   
2. To enforce a prerequisite:
   • Student reporting: Students who question if they have completed the prerequisite shall notify the instructor by the end of the second week of class so that the instructor may determine whether the student has completed the equivalent of the prerequisite.
   • If Faculty wants to confirm prerequisites have been met, the Faculty Member could ask all students to show a copy of their unofficial transcript or degree evaluation demonstrating completion of the requisite.

Visit the Registrar's Registration page for more information on administrative drops and schedule adjustment deadlines.
