What should I do if I've been canceled from my classes?

If you have been canceled for nonpayment of your bill by the required deadline, you must first make arrangements to pay in the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office. The Cashiers Office will then authorize the University Registrar's Office to reinstate you in your classes, if arrangements have been made by the tenth class day.

If you have been canceled for failure to provide required immunization records to the Student Health Service, you must first contact that office (336/334-4086) and complete the immunization process before you can be reinstated in your courses.

I've decided not to continue with one of the classes that I registered for. Will I be automatically dropped from this course?

No. Many students make this mistake and discover at the end of the semester that they have made an F in the course. Always drop any course you have decided not to take or which you are no longer attending. You will not be automatically dropped from such courses by the instructor or by the system.

I need to drop all my courses for this semester. Can I do this on the Web? Will I still receive registration information for the next semester?

Yes, you can drop all courses on the Web. Check with the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office to see if you are eligible for any refunds or see the UNCG Refund Policy.

A student who drops all of his or her courses is considered withdrawn from the University and must apply for reactivation or readmission. Unless you apply for reactivation or readmission, you will not receive any registration information for subsequent semesters.
