Drop-back policy

Every semester there are students who find they have enrolled in the incorrect math class and need to "drop-back" to a lower level class. Students who need to adjust their schedules are encouraged to do so as early as possible in the semester and no later than the end of week 4 of classes.

After the start of classes, students are typically charged a late transaction fee for adjusting their schedule. The Math Department has an agreement with the Registrar’s and Bursar's Offices to waive the late transaction fee and avoid the “W” on the transcript when the student drops one math course and adds another one using the official Drop-back procedure.

Students should email mathinfo@iupui.edu with:

• Name

• Student ID

• Math course (including section number) to DROP and

• Math course (including section number) to ADD.

Students will also need to forward emails from the professor for the class they are adding, as well as their academic advisor, approving the change. This information will be compiled by the math department and submitted to the registrar.

Please note that simply changing sections does not qualify as moving from one math course to a different math course, and students will be charged a (nominal) transaction fee for doing so. Students wishing to switch sections only are recommended to complete an electronic drop/add form and submit it to the Registrar's Office with appropriate approval.
