When do you want to drop a class?Choose from the list to see the appropriate steps per Academic Senate Regulations.

Deadlines are as of 11:59 p.m. on date posted. Transactions requiring in-person assistance have a deadline of 4:30 p.m. on date posted.

In the right place? If you are a Summer Session student, see the Summer Session website for procedures.

Note: Exceptions to this deadline are rarely granted and can only be reviewed in cases involving technical problems with TritonLink or documented serious personal circumstances (e.g., hospitalization) which prevented the timely submission of the request.

Please see your college advising office for guidance.
