DROP.

  1. Discontinuing attendance in a class does not constitute dropping the course. A Drop (or Add) is not official until the student successfully completes and verifies the action in Banner. No student should assume that an instructor has dropped him/her from a course. Each student is responsible for seeing that his or her schedule is accurate in Banner.

    Note: Students cannot drop their last course in Banner. They must drop the last course on their schedule in the Office of the Registrar.

  2. An instructor may drop a student from a class roster if the student fails to come to the first class meeting of any class or does not attend the first class meeting after the student adds the class. Students with a legitimate reason for missing the first class meeting should make prior arrangements with the instructor. Since instructors are not required to drop students in this manner, no student should assume that he or she has been dropped from a class for non-attendance. If a student does not plan to attend a class, he or she should follow regular drop procedures.
