ADDS, DROPS, & WITHDRAWALS

To Add or Drop Courses

To change the classes that you originally enrolled in, logon to the Student Portal at
my.ucsc.edu using the UCSC user ID number (7 digits preceded by '..W'.) and your password, and add or drop courses accordingly.  From the Student Center, click on '..Enroll', and then click on Add, Drop or Swap.

If you drop a course, receipt of a refund is based on the date on which the course is dropped, not the last day you attended the class.

Step-by-step instructions on using the Student Portal are available at summer.ucsc.edu/myucsc for:
  • Enrolling in, adding, dropping, or swapping courses
  • Changing Portal password & setting password hint
  • Checking financial account & balance
  • Editing grading options (letter grade or pass/no pass)
  • Updating address, phone, or email
  • Checking grades and narrative evaluations
  • Unofficial transcripts
You must officially drop your course to avoid receiving an F or NP (No Pass). Failure to drop your course will result in continued billing. The drop procedure must be followed even if you never attend class. Stopping payment of your check will result in additional canceled check charges.

REMEMBER:
  • You must drop courses by the deadlines in the Calendar;failure to attend classes does not constitute an official drop of the course!
  • There is no "Add by Petition" in the summer; the add deadline is firm.
  • There is no "Administrative Drop by Instructor" in the summer; the drop deadline is firm.
  • If you are eligible for UC Financial Aid but choose not to accept the aid, you must still DROP your classes to avoid being charged for them.
To Withdraw from Specific Courses
After the drop deadline has passed, you may still petition to withdraw from the course at the Summer Session Office during our business hours (see the Calendar for deadlines). No refunds will be given for courses from which you have withdrawn. While the W grade you receive will not be calculated in your GPA, it will appear on your official transcripts, and may impact your academic standing. Once this petition is filed with the Summer Session Office, it may not be rescinded
.  Petitions for a W grade cannot be submitted after the deadline specified in the Summer Session Calendar.
