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 bill, eligibility for financial aid, participation in intercollegiate athletics, etc.

Students may drop Fall and Spring full-semester courses through the second week (Add/Drop Deadline) 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

I would like to Drop: CRN, Subject, Course, Section, Title

Example Text for Email:

Jennifer Smith, 10234349

I would like to Drop 40005 ACC 301-01 Intermediate Accounting I

Thank you.

The Registrar’s Office will process your request and respond to your 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.

Important Notes:

After the Add/Drop Deadline, a student must request to withdraw from the course by following the instructions for Withdrawing from a course. In all cases, it is the responsibility of student to confer with their advisor before making changes to their schedule.
Courses dropped prior to the Add/Drop Deadline 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.
