Dropping Courses

Dropping a course or courses should be carefully considered and undertaken only after discussion with the student's academic advisor. Any reduction in course load may affect a student's eligibility for financial aid, participation in intercollegiate athletics, health insurance, etc.
Students may drop fall and spring full-semester courses through the second week of the semester using Self Service (eWeb). If students are unable to use eWeb, they may use their Eastern email and send the following information for each course they wish to drop to registrar@easternct.edu 

Name, ID Number

Drop: CRN, Subject, Course, Section, Title

The Registrar’s Office will process your request and respond via your Eastern email.

If for some reason you are unable to access eWeb and your Eastern email account, you may fill out the Initial Drop Form, print it, sign it and then send it to registrar@easternct.edu. 

After the first two week of the semester, a student must request a withdrawal from the course by following the instructions found on the Withdrawal from Courses page. In all cases, it is the responsibility of students to confer with their advisor before making changes to their schedule. Courses dropped by the established dates will not appear on a student's permanent academic record. Courses not dropped officially by the deadline will appear on a student's academic record with the appropriate grade assigned.

Due to immigration regulations, international students should consult with the coordinator of international programs before dropping a course.

In all cases drop requests are only official with final approval by the Registrar's Office.
