Adding a Class
Add periods are determined by the class session (semester-length, 8 Week, etc.). Visit the Academic Calendar for exact Add deadlines.
Please follow the instructions for registering for classes above to add a class.
Dropping a Class
Drop periods are determined by the class session (semester-length, 8 Week, etc.). Visit the Academic Calendar for exact Drop deadlines.
Note: You cannot withdraw from a course after the Drop period ends without approval from the Office of General Studies.
If you’re planning to drop a course without swapping it for another, you should first review UAlbany’s Financial Liability policy. You may need to submit a Tuition Appeal Request, if applicable.
If you are still enrolled in a class after the last day to withdraw with a “W,” you are expected to complete the course. Your grade will reflect all work submitted.
Note: Simply not attending classes does not constitute a drop or withdrawal.
