Question: What is the difference between add/drop and withdrawing from a class?
Answer: During add/drop week (January 18-24), you can make changes to your schedule without penalty. If you need to add or drop a class, you can do so in your MyESC. Please be aware that any changes, may affect the amount of tuition you owe; please check the tuition and fees chart for more information. If you change from full-time to part-time or part-time to full-time (full time is 12 credits or more), be sure to check with financial aid.
After January 24, if you no longer wish to be enrolled in a class, you will have to withdraw. Withdrawing from one or more classes after that date may leave you owing money. You can read more about that here: Withdrawal Liability Chart and Refund Policy
If you wish to add a class after January 24, you will need to fill out a late registration form. Speak with your mentor about this!
Question: I know that my mentor is my primary point of contact, but if I need additional assistance, I am unsure of who to contact. Can you help?
Answer: While your mentor is your point of contact for your academic questions, there are other offices that can assist you when you have questions about other topics.
