Frequently Asked Questions

During the first six class days, students may drop a class through NOVO on insideND.   When attempting to add and drop a course at the same time, we highly recommend checking the "Conditional Add and Drop" button at the bottom right corner of the screen prior to clicking Submit. This will protect your schedule in the event that the new course isn't added for any reason.  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 insideND eform is closed to students on the course discontinuance deadline of the semester.  If wishing to drop a course that starts later in the semester (after the eForm has closed), students must meet with an advisor or email mendozaugradadvising@nd.edu to initiate the drop eform.

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.
