Wednesday, September 22, is the last day for undergraduate students in the College to add and drop courses from their fall 2021 schedules.

Students can drop fall courses by logging into the UR Student system. To add coursework, students should complete a  drop/add form.  Instructions are available  here. Instructor permission is not required if a student is dropping a class.  To add a class, instructor permission should be submitted with the drop/add form to the College Center for Advising Services.  Hajim School students need the approval of their undergraduate coordinator for all schedule changes.  Students in the Class of 2025 and 2024 from the School of Arts & Sciences should communicate with their advisor about any proposed changes to their schedule; no advisor signature or email permission is required for the drop/add form.

Students who intend to register for fewer than 14 credits during the fall semester, should communicate with an advisor in the  College Center for Advising Services  about their plans.  Undergraduate students must remain enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits in order to retain their full-time status.

Wednesday, September 22, is also the last day to request to apply the Satisfactory/Fail option to spring 2021 coursework. Find information about the Satisfactory/Fail option here.

The fall semester test of AlertUR will be on Thursday, September 23, at 6 p.m. EDT. AlertUR is the emergency notification system for the University, including the Medical Center. In the event of an emergency, alerts are sent by voice, text, and email message. The purpose of the twice-a-year test is to activate the AlertUR system and check that you can be reached immediately. Students are automatically enrolled via their Rochester email but are encouraged to add a cell phone number to receive emergency calls and texts. Before the test, be sure to review your contact information online; sign in with your NetID and password to verify the fastest method for reaching you. The September 23 test will not disrupt scheduled activities. Find more information on AlertUR here.
