Non-Academic Drops

Non-Academic Drops

The University deadline date for Q-Drops this Spring semester is 03/21/2023, at 11:59PM.

Students may be eligible for a Non-Academic Q-Drop through the CNS Dean's Office by the deadline date. Non-Academic reasons include medical and mental health, along with other life challenges, such as deaths, legal, financial duress, etc. Students must meet with a CNS Non-Academic Coordinator to determine eligibility by the March 21, 2023 deadline. Official documentation is required for all Non-Academic Q-Drops. 

PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST DAY TO ATTEMPT A NON-ACADEMIC Q-DROP.

Non-Academic Q-Drops do not count against the 6 drop limit; and Q-Drops done as Non-Academic may be helpful to the student in case there is a need to petition for a third time repeat of a course.
