Adding or Dropping Courses; Change in Grading Option

College of Engineering students are able to add and drop classes and change their grading options using CalCentral through the end of the fifth week of instruction. Technical courses must be taken for a letter grade. However, if you are taking a technical course that cannot fulfill any requirements for your major, you may change the grading option to P/NP for that course by the end of the fifth week of instruction. After the fifth week of instruction, grading option can only be changed for H/SS courses. 

Courses may be dropped by the stated 5th week deadline provided that the student will still be enrolled in at least 12 units and at least two letter graded technical courses. Changes to the grading option may be made by the stated deadlines: end of the fifth week for technical courses that cannot be used to satisfy any requirements for your major, and end of the tenth week for H/SS courses.  

NOTE: Courses for which academic dishonesty has been verified by established campus procedures may not be dropped from the record. Grades for such courses will be reinstated to the record when dishonesty is verified.
