COB Academic Policies
The University has several policies that govern academic life, and students should become familiar with these policies. Beyond University policies, the College of Business (COB) has some college-specific policies with which students should be equally familiar.
Degree & Program Policies
Class Schedule Adjustment POLICY
In a new semester, the first four days of classes is the drop/add period. During this period, a student can drop and/or add a class without incurring a grade of “W” (for withdrawal). To make changes to his or her schedule, a student logs in to Ferris360 or contacts the Registrar’s Office located in the Timme Center for Student Services.
After the drop/add period, no classes can be added to a student’s schedule, and if a student wants to drop a class it is considered a withdrawal and his or her transcript will show a grade of “W.”
Note: It is wise to meet with your faculty advisor before changing your class schedule.
