To Add or Drop a Class

  1. CLASSES CAN ONLY BE DROPPED DURING THE ADD/DROP PERIOD.  AFTER THE 100% REFUND PERIOD HAS ENDED, ALL DROP AND ADD TRANSACTIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED AT THE SAME TIME IN THE REGISTRATION SYSTEM TO AVOID FINANCIAL PENALTY. 

    Important Deadlines:  See the semester calendar.  Note:  Classes that are less than a full semester have different deadlines which are proportional to the length of the class.  

    Exception:  If the course you wish to enroll in has already started and it is past the last day to add a class (usually one week for a full-term class), adding a class can no longer be done electronically. You will need to email the instructor of the class you wish to add and copy (cc) registration@wichita.edu on the email requesting permission to late add the class. The instructor must respond with their approval for you to be enrolled. If you wish to drop and add a class, this needs to be done at the same time to avoid financial penalty.

Cancelled Classes

The University reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment, or to make reassignment of instructors due to extraordinary circumstances. A full refund of enrollment fees will be automatically authorized for students who are enrolled in a class which has been cancelled. If you wish to use the refund (credit) from the cancelled class to pay the tuition for a replacement class you are “ADDING,” then you must process a “DROP” for the cancelled class at the same time you process an “ADD” for the replacement class. This must be done within the Add period for the term affected. Unless you are going to use the credit for another course, you do not have to “DROP” the cancelled course yourself. If you do nothing, we will drop the cancelled course from your schedule at the end of the second week of classes (or the proportional equivalent for shorter classes) and authorize a full refund (as appropriate).


Refunds

Partial or complete withdrawals require the student to drop each course via the online system at myWSU. Refunds will be issued by the Accounts Receivable Office according to the Refund Policy and based on the dates specified on the Accounts Receivable Important Dates webpage.
