Drop/Add/Withdraw
Dropping Courses after the Initial "Drop/Add" Period
The WCBA strictly adheres to UF drop and withdrawal policies and deadlines. To drop a course after the initial drop/add period, you must obtain approval from the School of Business in 267 Stuzin Hall. You may petition the college for additional drops only if you can document an extenuating circumstance that was beyond your control (i.e. personal injury or illness, a natural disaster, death in the family).
