LAST DAY TO DROP A CLASS

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO DROP A CLASS. 

GSAS does not allow a student to drop a class after TODAY.* 

Classes dropped up to and including TODAY will not appear in your transcript. 

Dropping a Course is a Two-Step Process. 

When you request to drop a course, you will receive an email when your request has been approved.  Then you must log in to SSOL to complete the drop.  

HERE is information about the Add/Drop Tool.  ALWAYS check that the course has been dropped from your schedule.  

Not all Classes are Pass/Fail or R-Credit Available.  

Please speak with the Professor before the Drop Date if you are considering pass/fail or R credit to make sure that is an option. 

Important:  

• • Classes dropped before the deadline will not appear in your transcript.  
  • If you do not drop the class from your schedule, you will receive a grade for the course.**
  • A course must have a grade in order to count for graduation. 
  • Pass/Fail or R credit do not count for graduation

Questions about Registration:  

• • Visit the Student Service Center in Kent Hall 
  • Telephone:  212-854-4400
  • Email:  ssc@columbia.edu.  

*Exception:  If the class is successfully cross-registered into another SCHOOL (For example, the Engineering School (SEAS) or the Business School, etc.) follow the deadlines for THAT School.

**Not attending classes or sending a notification to the instructor does not constitute dropping a course. Students who stop attending a course without formally dropping it by the deadline should be assigned a letter grade based on the same criteria as students who complete the course.

***Deadlines for half-semester courses are different from full-semester courses.  Half-semester courses must be dropped within the first two weeks.***
