Welcome Back!

Welcome Back, Everyone!


The beginning of the semester can be hectic, so we’re here to remind you that the add/drop period ends after next Monday, February 4th. Through Monday, students are free to enroll in or drop courses using Spire without any record on their transcript. But students opting to add or drop any courses are advised to keep these points in mind…

  1. The minimum credit load to maintain status as a full time student is 12 credits. Be careful your credit load does not drop below 12 credits if you decide to drop a course. The best way to avoid this? Enroll in another course before dropping the first one.
  2. Students enrolling in a course during add/drop are responsible for any course material or work assigned in the first week. If you enroll in a new course and aren’t sure what you’re responsible for, contact the professor.
  3. After Monday, students wishing to drop courses will still be able to do so through March 24th. However, between February 4th and March 24th dropped classes will appear with a “W” meaning “withdrawn” on students’ transcripts.

And as always, if you have questions about add/drop, don’t hesitate to contact an advisor.
