Students may add and drop courses themselves on UCanWeb through the third day of classes, at which time no fee will be imposed.

The request must be approved by the student’s academic advisor and/or academic Dean. Detailed instructions for how to add or withdraw from a course after the semester is in session can be found on the Registrar’s website. 

A $20 course change fee will be added to the student’s account for any changes made after the 3rd day of classes and must be paid at the Student Accounts Office in the One Hop Shop or via the Online Payment Portal.
