<p>Note that drop deadlines are often after the add deadlines, and often enough into the term that adding a course would mean being very far behind in the newly added course. This means that if you drop this late, you may have an underload (even if you have the minimum load for “full time” status, which is usually about one course fewer than the normal course load), which may require you to take an overload in a subsequent term to make up the credits or requirements to graduate on time. If “shopping” for courses, it is best to attend all of the courses you may want to take from the start, and make your decision before the add deadline, or keep an overload past the add deadline to drop one by the later drop deadline.</p>
