2026-2027 Academic Catalog

Registration and Course Withdrawal

Registration

After having consulted their academic advisers, students are required to register for the courses that they desire in the following term. Registration takes place during periods set aside in the fall and spring terms for this purpose (see the academic calendar on the inside back cover). By registering on time, students have the maximum chance of obtaining their desired courses. Students are responsible for keeping current with their course schedules by viewing MyMaconWeb. Students will not receive credit for courses in which they are not formally registered. Students will receive a failing grade for any course that they are not attending and failed to drop according to the published deadlines.

Course Add/Drop Period

Students may register for a course during the fall and spring terms through the fifth day of classes. Students may drop a course during the fall and spring terms through the fifth day of classes without any notation on their transcripts. Students may register for a course during the January or summer terms through the third day of classes. Students may drop a course during the January and summer terms through the third day of classes without any notation on their transcripts.

Most registration changes will be conducted via the add/drop function on MyMaconWeb. In cases where a completed add/drop form is necessary, students must submit the fully completed add/drop form to the Office of the Registrar within the allotted timeframe. No change will be made until the completed add/drop form is submitted by the student and processed by the Office of the Registrar.

Course Withdrawal Period

A student will receive a W when withdrawing from a course between the 5th and the 35th day of semester classes, or the 3rd and 10th day of January or summer term classes. Students who withdraw from a course after these indicated times will receive the grade of F in the course unless the registrar authorizes a W. The registrar will grant such permission only in cases of illness or other compelling circumstances and only through the final day of regular classes in a semester.

Students may withdraw from any course of 0 credit hours at any time through the last day of classes with no notation on the transcript. A student who does not satisfactorily complete the course, including any required work that occurs after the last day of classes, such as a final examination or culminating experience, and who fails to withdraw prior to the last day of the term, will receive a U.
