How to Drop a Course

Overview

Use this as reference when needing to drop a course or course section section during the add/drop period. Refer to your school’s respective Academic Calendar for the exact end date of the add/drop period.

NOTE: If you have a registration hold, you will NOT see the drop or swap buttons. The hold must be resolved before being able to drop or swap in UR Student. Refer to the View Holds QRC for steps on how to resolve holds.
