Students should drop / add online via Colleague Self-Service , or they may complete the “ Add / Drop ” form and submit it to the Campbell Solution Center . Forms can be found on the Registrar ’ s Office website . No student may enter a course after the end of the drop / add period except by permission of their advisor and Dean of the School in which the course is offered , and the submission of a drop / add form . Students cannot simply stop attending a class and expect to be dropped .
Course Add and Course Drop — Accelerated or Non-Term Programs The pace of an accelerated degree program requires students to maximize opportunities to learn . Any breaks in attendance or schedule changes may change the student ’ s expected completion and graduation date and may impact financial processing of the student ’ s account . These policies are intended to encourage students to make choices that support their educational goals and to remain compliant with Title IV Federal Regulations . Students must discuss all potential schedule changes with their Academic Advisor , the Financial Aid Office ( if applicable ), and the Bursar to ensure appropriate schedule and fund adjustments .
Adding an Accelerated or Non-Term Course Students must submit their requested course ( s ) to be added using Self-Service or the student can submit a completed Course Add form to their Academic Advisor . Students submitting their course add request ( s ) online through Self-Service are responsible for registering for the course ( s ) upon Advisor approval .

All email requests must come from the student ’ s GMERCYU email .
