add/drop confusion

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>according to the college registrar (Cornell</a> University Registrar) add/drop is different for seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. seniors start on 1/13, juniors start on 1/14, sophomores start on 1/15, and freshmen are on 1/16.</p>

<p>BUT, on the school website's academic calendar (Cornell</a> University - Academics - Academic Calendar), it says that add/drop starts on 1/15 for everyone.</p>

<p>does anyone know which one is true? i remember during fall add/drop, everyone had it on the same day.</p>

<p>according to a mass-email from the CALS registrar:</p>

<p>The CALS Registrar's Office would like to update you on a few changes that are occurring with add/drop this semester. The start-up for the add period has changed. The University has decided to do a staggering start for the add period. Please see the below times for when you can begin to adjust your schedule:
Add/Drop Period</p>

<ul>
<li>Professional & Grad Students Monday, January 12th at 7AM</li>
<li>Seniors Tuesday, January 13 at 7 AM</li>
<li>Juniors Wednesday, January 14 at 7 AM</li>
<li>Sophomores Thursday, January 15 at 7 AM</li>
<li>Freshman Friday, January 16 at 7 AM</li>
</ul>

<p>The Deadline to add and change the grading option will be Friday, February 6th.
The Deadline to drop a course will be Friday, March 6th.</p>

<p>In addition to the add date change, the CALS Curriculum Committee has decided that students will be able to enroll in up to 18 academic credits electronically through Student Services Center/JTF. Once the 18 academic credits has been reached a student will need to add courses via an add/drop slip and with their advisors permission. This was decided on December 12th by the CALS Curriculum Committee. Asides from freshman being able to enroll in a total of 18 academic credits, CALS does not have a limit on the amount of credits a student is able to enroll in.</p>

<p>Best,
CALS Registrar</p>

<p>apparently the drop period is still the same for everyone?</p>

<p>I think this is fair, btw, because that way seniors who really need a course will have a better shot at getting it.</p>

6

<p>Yea i got that CALS email too</p>

7

<p>there's another newer message from the CALS registrar. so you guys had better check your email again.</p>

8

<p>It's definitely different for each class. check to see which day yours is by logging onto just the facts or the student center.</p>

9

<p>So now its limited to 1 day per year and then everyone saturday i guess</p>
