Students may drop without additional charges or grading penalties anytime up through the end of the second week of classes in fall or spring, or the first week of classes in summer session. Classes will not show up on transcripts and no grades will be recorded for dropped courses.

Understand How to Drop Courses or Withdraw from Courses

Many students become confused by the difference between “dropping” and “withdrawing” and how these affect tuition charges and grades.
Drop is the term RSU uses if a student drops all of the classes before the final drop date. Dropping courses removes all tuition charges and all record of enrollment. No grades are recorded.

Withdrawal occurs when a student withdraws from one or all of their classes after the final drop date. When a withdrawal occurs students receive an action of “W” for the given courses and payment is still required for the courses. Please review the course schedule for the last drop date and withdrawal dates (calendar).

Adding or Dropping a Class
Students can add classes the first 5 days of the fall and spring semester and the first 2.5 days for the summer semester. Students can drop classes the first 10 days of the fall and the first 5 days for the summer semester and receive a refund. Students without any holds can process these via the hillcat hub.  All students with holds must take their completed add/drop form to the enrollment office for processing.
