Adding and Dropping Courses

2005-06 New Course Drop Policy (see 01.203.F - G)

You can add or drop a course online through BannerWeb at www.mymiami.muohio.edu during Change of Schedule, which ends the first week of each semester or the third day of each summer term.

A course cannot be added to your schedule after the first week of classes unless an exception is made by the instructor with the approval of the department chair. An instructor can refuse to accept a student into class if, in the instructor's opinion, too much subject matter has already been covered.

Registration for independent study at the graduate level (independent reading, special topics, special studies, special problems, and directed study) should be completed before Change of Schedule ends. Independent study courses may not be added after the deadline to withdraw from a course with a grade of W (after completion of 40 percent of the term).

You must officially drop each unwanted course. After Change of Schedule ends, you must have the instructor's signature to drop a course. Nonattendance does not avoid a grade of F.

A graduate award holder (including grant-in-aid), must petition to drop a course and maintain the award with a registration of fewer credits than required. The petition must be approved by Graduate Council before the course is officially dropped.
