titleWhen can I drop a course?

A student may drop a course(s) during the following times:

  • During regular registration and the drop/add periods (first five days of classes). No entry of the course(s) will appear on any permanent academic records and full refund of fees is due for course(s) dropped within those periods.
  • Between the second and tenth week of the semester (except for summer sessions - see the Summer Schedule of Classes for dates). Registration fees and tuition must be paid for the course(s) and the academic record will reflect a “W” grade for the dropped course(s).
  • Following the tenth week deadline if the request meets one of the following exceptions: 
    • Illness of the student of such severity or duration to preclude completion of the course(s) as confirmed in writing by a physician (M.D.).
    • Death of the student or death in the immediate family (parent, spouse, child or sibling) as confirmed by documentation (death certificate, obituary) indicating the student’s relationship to the deceased.
    • Involuntary call to active military duty as confirmed by military orders.
    • A situation in which the University is in error as confirmed by an appropriate University official.
    • Other documented exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the student which precluded completion of the course(s) accompanied by explanatory letter and supporting documentation.

Courses may not be dropped after the last day of classes except in cases of University Administrative error.

You can drop a course in the OASIS system up to the final drop date without academic penalty. See the COPH Schedule for dates.  After the final drop date the form required for this action is a USF Graduate Petition available in the COPH Academic and Student Affairs Office.  Please see our staff to assist you.  Petitions submitted will take 2-3 weeks to process before a change in the OASIS system is noted.
