RE: Last Day to Drop is July 28, 2017

Dear EE majors;

The last day to drop and withdrawal for Summer B/C 2017 is 1 week away (July 28, 2017).  If you are planning to drop a course for the summer 2017 semester, please submit your request through Student Initiated Drop/ Add page (https://student.ufl.edu/dropadd.html).  When you submit your request on the page.   Please check your drop page to see if you have drops available to use.  If you do not have any drops then you will be required to petition the college. Please read the general information about dropping a course and Bright Futures and Dropped courses.  I will not drop your courses until I receive your verification email.

If the course is your only Summer B or only Summer C course, you can complete a full semester withdrawal on your own. The process has the same results as a selective drop but does not use a UF-issued lower/upper-division drop. Instructions for a full semester withdrawal can be found at https://registrar.ufl.edu/services/withdrawals.html.

Please follow it with an email to me that says the following information:

Subject line:  Summer B/C 2017 Drop Verification  

Name:

UFID:

Course(s):

Section number(s):

The date that you submitted the request on SIDA:

Have you dropped a course in prior semester? Yes or No

Withdrawal from Summer 2017 Semester (Withdrawal means all courses you are currently  registered in the current semester):

If the course is your only Summer B or only Summer C course, you can complete a full semester withdrawal on your own. The process has the same results as a selective drop but does not use a UF-issued lower/upper-division drop. To withdraw from the entire semester (ALL COURSES YOU ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED), students are able to withdraw on their own.  To officially withdrawal from the semester, please use this web page (http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/services/withdrawals.html).  Please read the entire page for details for medical withdrawal and general procedures about withdrawing.  If you are withdrawing please let me know, via email. If you need to meet with me to discuss the reason why you are withdrawing, please come in during my walk-in hours or email me if you are unable to come in during that time.
