Add / Drop / Refund deadline
Dropping or Withdrawing from Courses
As a registered student it is your responsibility to drop courses you do not plan to attend. The professor's signature is not required.
- You may drop courses on the web through your MySierra account or in person at the Admissions Office.
For further details please refer to our Registration webpage.
- If you do not attend or stop attending courses and fail to personally drop by the Deadline to Withdraw and receive a "W", you may receive a letter grade.
- For refund information see Refunds.
Full-term Courses
Full-term courses dropped within the Add/ Drop/ Refund Period will not appear on the student's academic record. Courses dropped after this period will appear on the student's record with a "W" and are called withdrawals. The academic record of a student who remains in class beyond the deadline to withdraw will reflect a grade other than "W".
For Full-term courses please refer to the Semester
Calendar for the applicable semester to determine the
Add/ Drop/ Refund Deadline or the Deadline to Withdraw
and receive a "W".
Short-term & Fast-Track Courses
Short-term & Fast-track courses have their own individual deadlines which can be verified by the professor or by calling Admissions & Records at (916) 660-7340. All deadlines for each Short-term & Fast-track course are also printed on your class schedule/ fee receipt located in your MySierra account.
