Dropping and adding courses

You can drop or add a course without financial penalty at any time up to the last day it's allowed. To find out when this occurs, you need to look at the UAlbany Calendar.

Remember, though, that by the time you bump up against the deadline, the course you are adding may have met at least twice (or many times, if it's online).

Also, while you can drop or add open-enrollment courses once you have your AVN#, your advisor doesn't automatically get notified that you've made a switch, so you should email him/her to say what you are doing. This may prevent you from inadvertently taking a course that isn't allowed in your program.

Dropping courses after the deadline does incur penalties, both academic and financial. Before you consider this, consult your advisor.
