Frequently Asked Questions

Courses carrying 3.0 or more credits may NOT be added after the sixth class day.  If you would like to add a 1.0 or 1.5 credit class that has a later start date, you should initiate an eForm via insideND and/or see an advisor in 101 Mendoza.  The last day to add each of these courses will be noted on Class Search, as will the drop date (which is the 60% completion point of each course and NOT the same as the drop date for a standard 3.0 credit course).  Typically, students may not add these short courses if they will miss more than the first class of the session.

During the first six class days, students may drop a class through NOVO on insideND.   After the sixth class day, students must use an eForm to drop a class.  EForms are accessed through insideND by typing eforms into the search bar.  We recommend you favorite the eform link for easy access. 

Select the course you wish to drop from the drop down menu and note the reason for the drop in the required comments block. Once the eForm is submitted, it will electronically route to the department offering the class and then onto the student’s academic dean/advising office for approvals. If the drop is approved by all the reviewing offices, it is then routed to the Office of the Registrar to be processed.  You will receive emails regarding the status of your form - pay attention as additional action on your part may be required.

The online form is closed to students two days prior to the last drop date of the semester.  At this point, students must meet with an advisor to initiate the drop form.

Keep in mind that all students, except those graduating seniors who have been approved as part-time, must carry at least 12 credit hours each semester. We recommend you meet with an advisor to discuss the impact the course drop will have on your current and future semesters.  

1.5 credit business classes such as ITAO 30800 and MGTO 30120 must be dropped on or before 60% of the class sessions are completed.  So the drop deadline is always prior to the 9th class session.  Specific drop deadline dates can be found on NOVO in the Course Description.

Students can initiate an eForm (from insideND). For second half semester classes, the eForm is not available after the Friday after break week and you must see an advisor in 101 Mendoza to initiate the eForm.
