Adding and Dropping Classes

Once a student has registered for one or more classes, changes to that schedule (additions and/or deletions) are made using MyBradley until the specified deadlines listed below.

Each semester and session has two drop deadlines. The first is the deadline is to add on MyBradley without special permission. The second is the deadline to add a class with a Late Add Form. Classes dropped by the first deadline WILL NOT be part of the permanent academic record. Classes dropped by the second deadline are recorded on the permanent academic record with the indication of “W” (withdrawn) and the official withdrawal date.

After these specified deadlines, the dean of the college in the student’s major may, in cases of extreme hardship, authorize a student to withdraw from one or more, or all, courses. This action is recorded on the student’s permanent academic record with the grade of “W” along with the official withdrawal date. Please contact Student Financial Services regarding any financial adjustments.

To add courses after the last day to add deadline, an undergraduate student must obtain a Late Add form and obtain signatures from the academic advisor, the instructor of the class, the chair of the department offering the class, and the dean of the college. The dean of the college of the student's major (if first-time registration or re-registration, e.g. due to non-payment) or the dean of the college of the course if adding a course to the current schedule.

A graduate student must obtain a Late Add form and signatures of the graduate coordinator or, for business only, the associate dean of the college, the instructor of the added class, the department chair for the added class, and the director of graduate education.
