DESCRIPTION:TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO DROP A SUMMER CLASS.  \nGSAS does not allow a student to drop a class after TODAY.*  \nClasses dropped up to and including TODAY will not appear in your transcript.  \nDropping a Course is a Two-Step Process.  \nWhen you request to drop a course\, you will receive an email when your request has been approved.  Then you must log in to SSOL to complete the drop.   \nHERE is information about the Add/Drop Tool.  ALWAYS check that the course has been dropped from your schedule.   \nNot all Classes are Pass/Fail or R-Credit Available.   \nPlease speak with the Professor before the Drop Date if you are considering pass/fail or R credit to make sure that is an option.  \nImportant:   \n\n\n\nClasses dropped before the deadline will not appear in your transcript.  \nIf you do not drop the class from your schedule\, you will receive a grade for the course.**\nA course must have a grade in order to count for graduation. \nPass/Fail or R credit do not count for graduation\n\n\n\nQuestions about Registration:   \n\n\n\nVisit the Student Service Center in Kent Hall \nTelephone:  212-854-4400\nEmail:  ssc@columbia.edu.  \n\n\n\n*Exception:  If the class is successfully cross-registered into another SCHOOL (For example\, the Engineering School (SEAS) or the Business School\, etc.) follow the deadlines for THAT School. \n**Not attending classes or sending a notification to the instructor does not constitute dropping a course. Students who stop attending a course without formally dropping it by the deadline should be assigned a letter grade based on the same criteria as students who complete the course.
