Policy for Changing Courses (Drop/Add)

The policy followed for adding and dropping courses after a term begins is outlined below:

1.  Students of all units in New Brunswick may add classes from the first through the eighth day of classes each term.  In special circumstances, students may add classes beyond this period only with permission of the dean of the college in which they are enrolled and the instructors of the classes involved.

2.  Students in New Brunswick units may drop courses from the first day through the seventh day of each term, and no record is made on transcripts of such withdrawals.

3.  Students who withdraw from classes from the eighth day through the eighth week of the term will have a W on their transcript.

4.  After the eighth week and through the 12th week, permission of the college dean is required for students wishing to withdraw from a class with a grade of W.

W (Withdrawal)

A W is assigned when a student has withdrawn from a course, without any evaluation made of course work, on or before the completion of eight weeks of any regular term with the permission of the appropriate authority designated by each faculty.  Under no circumstances shall the assignment of W be allowed when the withdrawal from a college is dated during the last two full weeks of instruction in any term.  Should withdrawal occur without permission, the instructor will give the appropriate letter grade.
