Last Day to Add or Drop a Course is Friday at 5pm!
The final day to add or drop courses for Spring 2019 is Friday, January 11 at 5:00 PM EST. Please check the accuracy of your schedule – course name, number, section & number of credits all must be accurate by Friday, Jan 11th. Any “drops” after this date are not drops – they are course withdrawals and a W is on the transcript.
Drop Vs Withdrawal
A drop occurs when you remove yourself from a course before or during the course adjustment period which is the first five days in the fall/spring terms. There are no academic consequences from this action, but there may be financial aid repercussions for this drop if you no longer meet aid qualifications.
A withdrawal from a course occurs when you remove yourself from a course after the course adjustment period has concluded. There will be financial repercussions for this withdrawal based on the refund schedule. The academic consequences from this action include receiving a “W” for the course, which will appear on any unofficial or official transcripts. A grade of “W” will not impact your GPA, but does not count as completed credit toward your degree which has implications for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Tuition Surcharge.
Term Withdrawal
If you are only taking one course this Spring and want to drop it, or if you want to drop your entire schedule, you must email the Registrar’s office with your name, Banner ID, and course name and number. Dropping your entire schedule, regardless of how many classes, is called a term withdrawal. Your student account will be deactivated and you will need to submit an application for readmission in order to register for classes in future semesters. Contact your advisor or our office with questions: gradbus@ecu.edu or 252.328.6970.
Withdrawal Requests Made Within 60% of the Academic Term: During the first 60 percent of regularly scheduled class meetings (exclusive of final exams), a student may withdraw from the university without receiving grades for courses in which he/she is enrolled.
Withdrawal Requests Made Beyond 60% of the Academic Term: After 60 percent of regularly scheduled class meetings (exclusive of final exams), a student withdrawing from the university shall receive no credit for the courses in which he/she is passing at the time of withdrawal. A student will receive a grade of F for all courses in which he/she is failing at the time of withdrawal.
