Instructor Drop

If a student does not attend by the second class meeting of a semester or summer session, and has not informed the departmental office of the intent to remain in the course, the instructor may institute proceedings to drop the student from the class. (This is generally done only when the space is needed for another student.) A faculty member may not institute drop proceedings after the second week of class. A student cannot drop a course merely by not attending classes. The student who is dropped by the instructor will be notified of such action by the Office of the Registrar.
