CHANGE OF SCHEDULE IN CASPER Plus
Change of Schedule means adding a course or dropping a course from the schedule you obtained through CASPER or Late Registration. (If you have not paid fees for classes, follow the procedures for Late Registration.) Add/drop practice varies among instructors, departments and colleges. You should check the syllabus or inquire about the practice in each of your courses. Touch-tone or online registration availability is indicated as "Phon Reg" on the Web Schedule.
Adding a Course
Students who paid for CASPER who want additional units may add courses
during the late registration period. The maximum units available during
CASPER Plus without petition is 21. If you wish to take more than 21
units, obtain a Petition for Excess Units at the Admissions and Records
Counter.

Dropping
a Course
Drop courses through the second week of the semester on CASPER or CasperWeb.
You don't need signatures, but you must call or drop online. There is
no such thing as an automatic drop. Instructors have the authority to
drop students, but they are not required to do so. Even if your instructor
asks you to leave the class, the drop must be entered on CASPER. Failure
to drop a course according to University policy is likely to result
in the assignment of a failing grade of "WU" or "F"
in that course. If you are uncertain which classes you are enrolled
in, call CASPER, visit a Casper.NET kiosk, log on to CasperWeb or check
with the Admissions and Records Counter.
About Money: If you have not paid your
semester registration fees in full, dropping units or withdrawing from
the semester does not cancel the amount you still owe. You should take
this fact into consideration in making your decision. If circumstances
are such that you must drop anyway, please visit the Student Financial
Services Center (LSN-1001, 278-6736) to discuss your outstanding fees.
