How do I add or drop courses?

You may add or drop courses during the add/drop period, which ends the fifth day of each semester (or the third day of a summer session) by visiting https://www.bsu.edu/apps/myadddrop/default.asp. Courses dropped during this time will not appear on your official transcript. If you wish to withdraw from a course AFTER the add/drop period, you must fill out a withdrawal form and return it to the registrar's office by the publicized deadline (around the 45th day of classes in the Fall or Spring semesters). It is a good idea to discuss withdrawing with the instructor. If you decide you want to withdraw from a course, complete a withdrawal form and submit it to the Office of Registration and Academic Progress by the close of business hours on the last day of the withdrawal period. After the deadline, students may withdraw from courses only under extreme and verifiable circumstances and must meet with the instructor and the dean of the college to discuss the situation.
Students may add a course after the add/drop period by contacting the instructor who will then contact the department’s Administrative Coordinator. After the Administrative Coordinator “permissions” the student into the course, the study will have one day to register for the course by going to Lucina Hall. Another option is for the instructor to write a permission letter on department letterhead and have the student take this letter directly to Lucina.
