How to drop a course


Find out how to drop a course online.

Overview
  • If you’re dropping a course to enrol in another, it’s a good idea to use the ‘Swap a course’ function instead. That way you’ll keep your place in the first course until you finish enrolling in the new one. See How to swap a course.
  • If you do want to drop a course online, you must do so on or before the additions and deletions deadline date for the course. See Changing your enrolment.

Tips
  • If you only want to change your tutorial, lab or workshop use the ‘Edit a course’ function. See How to change a tutorial, lab or workshop.
  • After the additions and deletions deadline for a course has passed, you will not be able to finish dropping a course online. You’ll need to visit your faculty student centre for advice about applying for a late change to your enrolment—see Faculty student centres.
  • To see deadlines and information about changing your enrolment, see Changing your enrolment
What happens next?
  • You’ll receive an email confirming your enrolment change.
  • If you dropped the course before the additions and deletions deadline date, a fee credit will show in your account activity—if not straight away, then definitely overnight. See How to view your account activity.
