Changing your registration
Need to Change Your Class Registration? Here’s What to Know:
If you’re thinking about dropping a class, it’s important to do it the right way.
After Week 2 (the 10th day of the quarter), you will need to submit a petition to add or drop a class, and there’s a $100 late fee.
If you’re unsure about the process or need help making changes, your TRIO advisor is just a message away.
One last thing: If you receive financial aid, keep in mind that dropping below 12 credits could lower the amount of aid you receive. Make sure to check with Financial Aid before making changes!

Degree-seeking Greeners eligible to earn their degree in academic year 2024-25, including summer quarter, need to apply to graduate by Friday, April 18th, 2025.
