Drop/Add Procedures

• You will handle your own drops on line without signature. Please complete the drops as soon as you know that you will not remain enrolled , since this may open a seat for someone who really wants it. After Sept 19, you may leave a class only by requesting a withdrawal and using the paper Withdrawal Form. Please note that the Committee on Academic Standing (CAS) rarely approves late drop requests.

• During the first three days of the semester , you may add open classes on line without a signature. There are a few exceptions, including the Scribner Seminars and sections where the faculty member has made special arrangements with the Registrar's Office.

• A fair number of sections have waitlists associated with them. As slots become available, students are notified and have a specified time to enroll themselves (prior to Sept 10). If you are on a waitlist, keep checking your Skidmore email. If you no longer wish to be enrolled, please delete it from your schedule.

• If a section is closed or a pre-requisite override is needed, you must obtain written approval of the instructor. We use the yellow Course Registration Forms for this purpose. Hand in the signed form at the Registrar's Office.

• Starting on Sept 10, you may only enroll in a section with written approval, using the yellow Course Registration Form. We want students to be settled into their classes by the end of the first week.

• Any new registration after the Sept 12 will be reviewed by CAS, and late adds may be denied if the rationale is not deemed appropriate. Please make your enrollment decisions on time and begin your academic work immediately. This is important for getting off to the right start.
