Requests for late add/swaps for Summer 2018 are continuing to be routed through the college advising offices. All late add/swap requests for courses taught in the College of Sciences should be made directly to COS Advising Services (COSAS) CSB 250.

Students wanting a late drop only (unless part of a late swap) should be referred to Academic Services, MH 210, directly.

1) You are under no obligation to support a late add or swap requested by a student.

2) If you do choose to support a late add or swap, please provide the student a written statement of your support which MUST include information regarding how the student can still be successful in the course though they are adding the course at least one week after the start of classes.  ALL written support (which may be an email) must include the following:

a. The student’s name, UCF ID, course information (Prefix, course numbers, section, and class number)

b. Statement of support for the late add or late swap
