Adding and Dropping Courses

All students (undergraduate and graduate) may add or drop courses on-line during the allotted registration Add/Drop Access periods. See the Office of the Registrar’s on-line Course Schedule for access periods.

During the add-drop period, a student may also add or drop Curriculum and Instruction courses (EDC or ALD) in the department office by completing the Department Add/Drop form  and turning it in to the department registration representative, Ann Ford, in SZB 406. You must obtain the instructor’s signature if adding a course that is full or restricted.  Paper versions of the Add/Drop form  are located in the department office (SZB 406), and on the hall bulletin board across from the 406 office.

Students may email their request to add or drop Curriculum and Instruction courses to Ann Ford: annford@mail.utexas.edu. Please include the following information to ensure you are added to or dropped from the appropriate course(s).

• Your full name
• Your UT EID
• Course number(s) to be added/dropped
• Unique number(s) of the course(s) to be added/dropped
• The semester & year in which course(s) to be added/dropped are offered
• Your request to be added/dropped to/from the course(s)
• The instructor's permission email (only if adding a full or restricted course)

After the Access periods have closed:

To add or drop a course after the 12th class day of the semester* (or 4th class day in summer), undergraduate students should contact their undergraduate Advisor.  Graduate students may add or drop courses after the registration access periods have closed by completing the Graduate Add/Drop form, which is located in the department office (SZB 406) or the Graduate Studies office (MAI 101). You will be required to complete the appropriate areas of the form, obtain the signatures of your instructor, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction Graduate Advisor, and the Graduate Dean, and turn the form into the Registrar’s office for processing. A petition letter from the Graduate Advisor is also required to add a class after the 12th class day.

* this is the 12th class day since the 1st day of the semester, and may not be the actual 12th day of your class.
