Welcome Back: It's Spring 2026!

Here are some tips to help you get through drop/add week and the first few weeks of school:

When is the last day of drop/add?

Students can adjust their schedule on EagleApps until January 21st.  Students can drop a class by completing a late drop form until February 16th.

How do I overload? 

The standard semester course load for undergraduates is five 3-credit courses and a maximum of 20 credits, including labs and other 1- or 2- credit courses.

Students are eligible to overload if they have earned at least a 3.0 overall cumulative GPA or a 3.0 GPA in the semester immediately prior to the one for which the overload is sought, in which case they may register online for a sixth course of 3 credits or more and a maximum of 24 credits, including labs and other 1- and 2-credit courses, starting on the Friday before the first day of classes for the semester.

How do I make a course pass/fail?

The deadline to make a course pass/fail is April 1st.
Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may elect to designate a course as pass/fail before the deadline. 

Only electives can be taken pass/fail. Courses being used to fulfill major, minor, Core, or corequisites cannot be taken pass/fail.

Second-semester freshmen who have been approved by their Academic Dean for an overload of a sixth course of 3 credits or more may take that course on a pass/fail basis, in which case the course may not be used to fulfill a major, minor, Core requirement, or corequisites.

No more than one course of 3 or more credits may be taken pass/fail in any semester. No student may take more than six pass/fail courses of 3 or more credits for credit toward a degree.

Courses in the Carroll School of Management may not be taken on a pass/fail basis. Departments may designate some courses as not available in general for pass/fail enrollment.

A student enrolled in a course on a pass/fail basis who earns a grade of D- or higher will receive a grade of Pass for the course.

How do I get into a closed class?

Students will need to contact the department administrator to seek an override or get onto a waitlist. Here is the contact information for all the Carroll School departments.  For all other courses, students can complete this form and submit it to the department. 

Who can I talk to about my schedule?

We have academic advising drop-in hours Monday - Thursday 10am-12pm and 1-3pm in Fulton 315. Come by to meet with one of the staff advisors. The Peer Advisors are also another great resource for advising. You can find their drop-in schedule here.
