CRASHING A COURSE?
Sometimes students will crash a course, which is showing up to a class that's full on the first day of class in order to get added by the professor. If successful, you will receive an "add code" (6-digit code you can use to add the class through your student portal). If planning to crash a course, be sure to email the professor ahead of time so that they can prepare an add code for you, or even send it to you via email!

Sometimes circumstances arise that lead you to need to drop a class. Put drop deadlines into your phone in case you need them in the future. Drop deadlines can be found by clicking on the 5-digit CRN number in the Schedule of Classes (not all classes have the same deadline).
