Academic Catalog 2024-2025

Changes of Enrollment

Students wishing to add a course must have approval from their academic advisor for the change of enrollment which becomes official when the form is completed and submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students wishing to drop from a course must complete the necessary Change of Enrollment form. The drop becomes official when the form is completed and submitted to the Registrar’s Office by the student. Students wishing to drop the last (or only) course in an academic term must complete the Voluntary Withdrawal process. The deadline for dropping and adding courses is published in the official Academic Calendar located on the USM website.

Adding Courses

Students may be reinstated into an 8-week course within the first week if the student was administratively dropped from the course and has satisfied all outstanding requirements, or if the student has successfully appealed for reinstatement into an academic program after being dismissed.

Students reinstated by the above provisions are responsible for any missed class work as well as ensuring that any required course materials have been received.

Under no circumstances may a student be reinstated into an 8-week course after the first week of the academic term.
