September 25 is the last day to:

• add a course with instructor permission, including independent study and independent research
• drop a course

To add coursework, you should complete a drop/add form and follow these instructions. Instructor permission should be submitted via email with the form to registrar@rochester.edu. Instructor permission is not required when a student drops a class.

Hajim School students need the approval of their undergraduate coordinator for all schedule changes. All other students should communicate with their college advisor about any proposed changes to their schedule. Eastman School students should submit the Eastman add/drop/withdraw form for any course changes with appropriate documented permission from instructors, if needed. All undergraduate students must remain enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits to retain their full-time status. Students should consult the 2026–27 academic calendar for academic deadlines.
