  Adding/Dropping/Waitlisting Courses

Adding - When adding courses, students should use the University’s web registration program, Campus Connection. When students are adding a course where permission is required by the faculty/department or they are enrolling with a time conflict or requesting an overload, there are specific instructions that must be followed. These instructions are available on the Registrar's Office website

Dropping - Students can drop courses on Campus Connection according to specific published deadlines. All but the last course can be dropped on Campus Connection. Students who wish to withdraw from all courses must complete the Cancellation/Withdraw to Zero Credits Form in Campus Connection. Student Homepage > MiSU eForms > Registrar's Office > Cancel/Withdraw to Zero. Students who drop any class after the seventh day of class in the fall or spring semester will receive a "W" on their transcript, indicating a withdrawal. Students can find the last day to drop each semester on the Academic Calendar found on the Registrar's Office website. A grade of "W" is not calculated in the GPA. Students who fail to drop a course by the official "drop" date may apply for "late course drop" due to extenuating circumstances. Students should view the details for a late course drop in the Undergraduate Catalog

Waitlisting - Students may have the option to waitlist courses that are currently full. The waitlist feature allows for students to indicate an interest in a course that is presently full. When students are enrolling in courses in Campus Connection, they may check "ok to waitlist" if a course is full. The course will appear on schedules as "waiting" which indicates potential for enrollment, not actual enrollment. If a seat becomes available, the first eligible student on the waitlist will automatically be enrolled in the course provided the student meets enrollment requirements. Students are responsible for checking their schedules in Campus Connection to see if the class has been added to their schedule. Students can not add a waitlist if already enrolled in a different section of the same course. Ranking of preferred section of waitlisted courses is not an option.
