Before adding or dropping any classes, please check with your academic advisor. If you do not know who your advisor is, please contact the Office of Academic Affairs at (304)788-6861 or stop by their office on the first floor of the Administration Building.
Before dropping individual classes, consult your advisor to determine if:
- Your course load would be reduced below the minimal number of hours required to qualify for financial aid, intercollegiate athletic competition, or international full-time student status;
- The courses to be dropped are required to fulfill academic probationary conditions;
- The courses from which you want to withdraw might be core requisite with other courses you are taking, or pre-requisite to other courses required for the next term.
