Add/Drop Periods: The period of time at the beginning of each term when schedules can be adjusted without penalty. The length of the add/drop period varies by class and is determined by the number of instructional weeks. Please refer to the Semester and Academic Calendar to review the add/drop period dates at https://www.wichita.edu/services/registrar/academic_calendar.php.
Drop: This action is valid when dropping a course before the end of the add/drop period. A drop does not appear on a transcripts, does not count as an attempt on a class, and grants a 100% refund of tuition.
Withdrawal: This action becomes valid after the add/drop period expires. A withdrawal does appear on a transcript, counts as an attempt on the class, and charges tuition fees.
Deadlines: The deadlines to add/drop/withdraw courses can be viewed at https://www.wichita.edu/services/registrar/academic_calendar.php.
