Online Add/Drop
What
You
will add and drop most of your courses on-line via
CourseEnroll, which you’ve been using for pre-enrolling on Just the Facts
(JTF). You can make most schedule changes online
*With the exception of permission-only courses*. You can
add or drop courses from any computer with JTF, no waiting in
line!
|
What's different from
pre-enrollment? ·
When you successfully submit
a course in Add/Drop you're not just requesting a change, you are in or out of that
course. ·
Courses requiring permission
to enroll in are excluded from on-line Add/Drop. You will continue to add and drop
them on the paper add/drop forms. |
What's different from paper
add/drop? ·
Most students in Arts and
Sciences will be able to change their schedules without their advisor’s
approval. You are now
responsible for consulting your advisor about changes in your course of
study. ·
However, either your advisor
or the college can set your record individually to require you to see your
advisor before you can change your schedule in any way: add or drop a course or
sub-course, switch a section or lab, change a FWS, or change a grade or
credit option. You find out
whether your record has been set by receiving the message on JTF,
"Add/Drop not permitted. Please contact your Faculty Advisor."
Only your advisor or
advising dean can re-set your record to allow you to make changes
on-line.
|
Your
faculty advisor may decide to set your record so that you must consult her/him
before changing anything. Most
advisors will decide not to do this, because the choice is between a) you must
see your advisor before changing your schedule in any way at all: adding or dropping a course, section, or
lab or changing a grading or credit-hour option and b) you may do any of those
things without seeing your advisor first.
However, whether or not your advisor requires you to consult him/her,
s/he does want you to consult about substantive changes; please do
so.
While the
College of Arts and Sciences will, as the default, allow students to change
their schedules without formal approval from their advisors, it will require
selected students to consult their advisors first, namely those who a) failed to
pre-register (and presumably also failed to consult their advisors the previous
semester), b) pre-enrolled but did not see their advisor (for example, students
returning from leave or off-campus study), c) are of concern to the Committee on
Academic Records, or d) are of concern to an advising
dean.
How do I get started?
Download
the new version of Just the Facts any time now. Log-in and click on the Add/Drop button
to check whether you need to see your advisor before you can add and drop
courses. Your record may be set to require you to do this at any time.
See your advisor, if
necessary.
How many courses can I
add/drop?
Add/Drop
allows you to enroll in up to five courses of 3 or more credits each semester
and as many 1- and 2-credit and ROTC courses as you like. Enrolling in more than five courses
requires consultation with your advisor and an advising dean and adding
via the familiar old paper add/drop forms (with advisor approval and
departmental stamp).
What
courses can I add/drop on-line?
You will
be able to add and drop most courses on-line. However, some instructors require
permission to add and drop their courses; in these cases you will need to
consult the instructor and after obtaining approval, add the course via a paper
add/drop form (departmental stamp required). The same is true if instructors or
departments manage enrollments in particular courses by admitting students from
wait-lists or by preferring majors or seniors or some other category. You need to consult the instructor or
department and add the course via a paper add/drop form.
As in
pre-enrollment, you need to add all components of a course (i.e. labs and
sections). Please be sure you have
add a section that goes with a particular lecture. When you choose a lecture on
CoursEnroll, the associated sub-courses will be displayed in a pop-up
window. You must choose one of
those.
