Late Add/Swap Update

College of Sciences Advising Services will no longer approve any late add/swap requests for the Spring 18 term, with one exception. If the change is needed due to a university error, we will review and try to remedy the error. Students requesting support for late adds/swaps at this point, including for financial aid reasons, should make alternative plans. 

A working group has been formed to smooth out this process for the future terms.Contact Lee Anne Kirkpatrick, COSAS director, if you have additional questions or feedback.
