Dropping Courses

The word “drop” refers to official deletion of a course from a student’s record. If students cannot continue enrollment in a course for which they enrolled for a particular term, they must officially drop the course in MyCSUEB. Students may drop courses through the end of the Add/Drop period without the course appearing on their permanent record. After the Add/Drop period, students may only withdraw from courses. 

Departments offering a class may drop students if they do not attend the first class meeting or if they have not met the course prerequisites that are published in the University Catalog. Some departments may notify students as a matter of courtesy when they are being dropped, but other departments may not. There is no University-wide policy and this determination will vary by department. Students should not assume that they will be dropped automatically if they do not attend class, and are responsible for dropping courses in MyCSUEB by the end of the Add/Drop period. Students are also responsible for checking their course enrollment to make sure it is accurate.
