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.
