Adding & Dropping Courses

Prior to the start of the semester and during the first week of classes:

Muskingum University has moved to using a new platform in place of the traditional Muskie Link.  Here are some informational guides if you need assistance with the new platform:

Information for Traditional Undergraduate Students: How To Register For Courses: Student How To or view this short video: Registration Video

Information for Graduate and Continuing Studies Students (MAP, Grad, and Doctoral) Students: How To Register for Courses or view this short video: Registration Video for MAP or Graduate Students

Students can add open courses online assuming they have no holds on their accounts and assuming that the student meets all prerequisite requirements and no time conflicts would be caused by the addition(s).  If the student needs a requisite override, has a time conflict, or the class is full, the instructor will need to fill out an add form. 

Students are free to make changes to their schedules anytime between registration and the end of the first week of classes with some exceptions.

At other times

Partial-semester courses (such as second-half PE courses) may have other add/drop periods defined. See the Academic Calendar for more details.

After the 1st week of the course/semester

After the 1st week of a course/semester a student can only withdraw from a course, he/she cannot drop it. The difference is that a grade of W appears on the transcript and there may be billing and other implications.
