  Coming Up...

  Enrollment caps and consent flags have not been set. After pre-registration ends and faculty review enrollments, you may be dropped from a course with an enrollment cap or assigned to a different section of a multi-sectioned course (including labs or conferences):

  • Students dropped from a course will be notified.
  • Students assigned to a different section of a multi-sectioned course will not be notified—so it's important to check your schedule before drop/add.

August 23 – August 27

• Registration

  Williams Student Records will be open from:

  Monday, August 23 @ 12:01 am - August 27 @ 11:59 pm

  Check the catalog for courses that are still open, making note of courses that may require instructor or department consent.

  Enrollment caps and consent flags have been set, and multi-sectioned courses will continue to be balanced.

  Students assigned to a different section of a multi-sectioned course will not be notified—so it's important to check your schedule before drop/add.

September 7 – September 17

• Drop/Add

  Before Drop/Add opens, check Williams Student Records for:

  • Holds and resolve as soon as possible (see task tile).
  • Schedule changes—if you enrolled in a multi-sectioned course you may have been assigned to a different section—you will not be notified of section changes.

  Williams Student Records will be open from:

  Tuesday, September 7 @ 12:01AM  - Friday, September 17 @ 11:59 PM 

  Tutorial drop deadline is September 8.

  At this point you may add an extra-graded fifth course.

  First Class Meetings

  It's important to attend first class or organizational meetings:

  • If you do not attend the first class or organizational meeting, the instructor may drop you and give your space to another student.
  • Instructors may refuse consent to add a course if you have not attended the first class or organizational meeting.
  • After first class meetings, all classes require instructor consent to add, whether instructor consent is flagged or not. Always check with the instructor if you would like to add a class after the first meeting.
