Drop/Add for Fall 2012
May 7, 2012–August 24, 2012
See Registration Calendar for all deadlines; see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/fa12.html for all drop dates.
Use UNCGenie for all online registration and drop/add.
Schedule adjustment for fall 2012 will extend May 7, 2012, through August 24, 2012. This period allows students to modify their schedules without having such transactions recorded on their academic records. See registration instructions for drop/add instructions. Continuing students must use the same advising code received in March 2012 for fall 2012 drop/add processing. This advising code is used for making any registration adjustments throughout the semester.
Advising and Advising Codes
Advising codes are required to access the registration menu, including the drop/add screens. New six-digit codes are issued to all students for each semester. Previous semester codes cannot be used to access current semester registration.
New first-year and transfer students are assigned and meet with advisors during their initial orientation/registration process; transfer students are also encouraged to register during registration-by-appointment and should seek the guidance of their advisors regarding course selection. Continuing students are responsible for making appointments with their advisors during the advising periods that occur in conjunction with early April and November registrations. See the Registration Calendar.
Graduate students in certain programs must also see advisors to obtain advising codes. Please consult the "Check Your Registration Status" option, under Registration in the Student tab in your UNCGenie account.
If you misplace your advising code, contact your advisor or major department office.
Adding Closed or Restricted Courses
To add any class without a waiting list that is closed or restricted, you must obtain special permission from the department or instructor. Forms of special permission include special departmental stamps and the instructor’s written signature on an official drop/add form (available from the University Registrar’s Office and departmental offices). A process that allows the instructor to override his or her own courses online is available, after which you may register on the Web. If your instructor does not opt to use this method, you may have your drop/add form processed in the University Registrar’s Office, 180 Mossman.
Withdrawal from All Courses
Students who must withdraw from the University may do so by dropping all courses via the Web through UNCGenie. Students who drop all courses are considered to be withdrawn from the University and must seek reactivation or readmission through Undergraduate Admissions or The Graduate School to return to school in subsequent terms.
See the Military Call-Up Policy that governs withdrawal of students called to active duty.
Auditing Courses: Currently Enrolled Students
- A student may not register to audit a course after the first week of class for the semester. The deadline to register for or declare an audit for fall 2012 is August 24, 2012.
- A student must officially register for an audited class in the University Registrar's Office. Audits cannot be processed on the Web.
- Written permission from the instructor is required in order to audit a course; such written permission must be processed in the University Registrar's Office, 180 Mossman.
- Full-time UNCG students may audit one course per semester without additional charge.
- Part-time UNCG students may audit no more than two courses per semester and are charged a $15 fee for each audited course.
Auditing Courses: Visiting Auditors
A person who does not wish to be officially enrolled at UNCG should contact the Division of Continual Learning (336/315-7044) for information about auditing courses. A fee of $50 is charged to non-students auditing a course for which no record will be established. Persons who are not currently enrolled at UNCG but who desire a record of enrollment as an auditor should follow regular admission, registration, and fee payment outlined previously.
Drop/Add Guidelines (use UNCGenie to process all drops; see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/fa12.html for all drop dates)
- You cannot add courses or change sections after Friday, August 24, 2012, without special permission. Courses added after that date must be processed in the University Registrar’s Office.
- You may continue to withdraw from (drop) courses by Web through October 12 for 15-week classes (see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/fa12.html for all drop dates). Use your fall 2012 advising code to access the online system to process all drops.
- Drop any course for which you registered but that you later decide not to take. Make sure that the section of a course you are attending is the section for which you have registered; make final adjustments before the Deadline to Drop Without Academic Penalty (October 12, 2012 for 15-week classes, see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/fa12.html for all drop dates) so that you will not receive an F on your academic record for a course you did not attend.
- Courses dropped during the fall 2012 drop/add period (May 7, 2012–August 24, 2012) will not be recorded on your academic record.
- Fifteen-week courses dropped after August 24 but prior to the October 12 Deadline for Dropping Without Academic Penalty will be recorded as W on your academic record. See the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/fa12.html for all drop dates.
- Fifteen-week courses dropped after the October 12 Deadline for Dropping Without Academic Penalty will be recorded on your academic record as WF. WF grades are calculated in the GPA as F (0.0, failing) grades.
