Drop or Withdraw From Classes

There may be times when you need to remove a class from your schedule, and Albert offers two options depending on the timing: dropping a class and withdrawing from a class. You can drop a class directly through Albert any time before the add/drop deadline, which is typically about two weeks after the semester begins. After this deadline passes, the drop option is no longer available, and you'll need to submit a class withdrawal request instead.

For More Information, please visit Drop or Withdraw From Classes.
