(844) 826-6546We hope you have a great cross-campus online learning experience. However, if you need to drop a course for any reason, here‘s how.
1. Check the Deadline for Dropping a Course
Deadlines differ from campus to campus. Please check the academic calendar to find the drop date specific to the host campus that is offering the course. You can also contact the host campus Registrar’s Office to verify the deadline for dropping a course. The dates that apply for adding/dropping a course are those of the campus where you are taking the online course.
2. Email a Request to Drop the Course
If you choose to drop a course before the deadline, use your school email account and email UC Online Support with the following information:
- Course name (e.g., “Calculus for Science, Engineering and Mathematics”)
- Course number and section (e.g., “Math 19A” and "UC-SC-201304-MATH-19A-ONLINE-E001")
- Reason for drop request
If you are acting after the deadline to drop a course, your late drop/withdraw request must be approved by both your home and the host campus. Use your school email account and email UC Online Support with the following information:
- Course name (e.g., “Calculus for Science, Engineering and Mathematics”)
- Course number and section (e.g., “Math 19A”and "UC-SC-201304-MATH-19A-ONLINE-E001")
- Reason for late drop/withdraw request
3. Verify You’ve Been Dropped from the Course
Before the deadline: Once you've been dropped you will receive an email confirmation specifying the reason for your drop. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24-48 hours, please email UC Online Support.
After the deadline: UC Online Support will request late drop/withdraw approval from both the host campus and your home campus. You will be notified via email on the status of your request. Please allow 3-5 business days for updates.
