Students may register for courses and make changes to their class schedule at any time between the start of their registration window through the end of the first week of classes. Courses dropped during this period will not appear on the students' transcripts and students are not financially responsible for these courses.

Students modifying their course loads through the second week of classes should speak with Student Academic Records and Financial Services regarding financial responsibility and possible changes to financial aid eligibility. For information about withdrawing from courses after the second week of classes, see "Resignation from Coursework at the University."

Students who drop all courses during the second week of classes will not receive grades for such courses but will be responsible for a financial penalty.

Students who choose to resign from all courses after the second week of classes willbe responsible for a financial penalty and receive a grade of "R" for each course resigned until the end of the resignation period.

Students can resign from courses using BIRD or via MyUB up until the end of the eleventh week of classes.

Students are not permitted to sit in a class without proper registration. Students who are officially auditing a class cannot have the audit grade option converted to a letter grade option retroactively nor are students permitted to register for a class after the end of the second week of classes.
