  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 24 – August 30

• Registration

  Williams Student Records will be open from:

  Monday, August 24 @ 12:01 am - Sunday, August 30 @ 11:59 pm

  Beginning on Wednesday, August 26, a fourth course may be added.

  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 8 – September 18

• 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 8 @ 12:01 am - Friday, September 18 @ 11:59 pm

  Tutorial drop deadline is Wednesday, September 9 @ 4:00 pm.

  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.
