Adding, Dropping, or Withdrawing from Courses/Separating from the University

Students can add or drop courses online or in person for full semester courses and official mini-mester courses up to the date specified in the Academic Calendar. Students may enroll in weekend or concentrated courses until the start of the first class meeting. Students wishing to drop a weekend or concentrated course have until the start of the first class meeting to drop without academic record and until the start of the third class meeting to withdraw with a grade of W.

To drop or withdraw from all classes in a semester and maintain matriculation for the next semester, students must request and obtain email approval for Continuous Registration from their academic advisor (see Continuous Registration section).

Before the last day to add classes, any newly admitted students who wish to separate from the university or defer their admission should email the Office of Admissions (admissions@marymount.edu) and the Office of the Registrar (registrar@marymount.edu). Any returning students, or newly admitted students after the last day to add classes, who wish to separate from the university should notify the Office of the Registrar electronically or in writing by submitting a Separation Form approved by their associate dean. The date the student notifies the Office of the Registrar of the intent to separate is the official date that determines the student’s financial responsibility to the university. Any tuition refund or credit will be calculated based on the withdrawal/separation date recorded by the Office of the Registrar. The last date to file a request for separation for enrolled students is the last day to withdraw from classes as indicated by the Academic Calendar.

Students who stop attending courses without officially withdrawing from the course or separating from the university will receive an FA.
