Adding and Dropping Classes

This is a summary of regulations and procedures you'll need to know if you wish to change classes after you register. The full text of the regulations in all its glory may be found in the current Cornell College Catalogue under Academic Information, Adding and Dropping Courses.

In all cases, changing your registration requires that you file an Add/Drop form, which is available online or at the Registrar's Office. No matter when you file, the form must be signed by your academic advisor and turned in to the Registrar's Office.

To check the availability of seats in a course, consult the online Course Schedule.
