Dropping a Class

Fall and Spring: To drop a class BEFORE DROP DEADLINE

You drop a class until the drop date by using the SJSU MySJSU web site. A tutorial at https://www.sjsu.edu/learnanywhere/how-tos/my-sjsu-basics/drop-class.php explains how to drop a class on the MySJSU website.

DROP DEADLINE

MLIS and MARA, Certificate and TL Credential Classes: The deadline for dropping a class (without a “W”) is posted on the SJSU Registration Calendar. After that date, a grade of “W” will be recorded for a dropped class and you must show serious and compelling circumstances for dropping the course. Please read the current Petition for Course Drop form carefully. Instructions and current Petition for Course Drop form can be found under Withdrawal. The drop deadline is the same even if the class runs later in the semester.

MS in INFM Classes: The deadline to drop an INFM class is the 5th calendar day of the class’ Session I or Session II semester dates shown at the top of the MS in Informatics Session I and Session II schedules on the iSchool Schedule of Classes, including weekends and holidays, with the first being day 1. *For MS in Informatics classes, please note the semester dates for Session I and Session II are different. They are listed at the top of the iSchool Schedules for MS in Informatics. If the special session partial refund deadline occurs after the MS in INFM last day to drop, there will be no partial refunds for MS in INFM dropped classes.

iSchool Open Classes: Check with iSchool Student Services for drop and refund timelines and procedures as students taking Open Classes must be manually dropped by the Registrar.

**Drop deadlines are different from refund deadlines. Please see Refund Policy for information on refund deadlines.

SUMMER DROPS AND REFUNDS

All of our classes for both regular and special session students are in special session in summer.  So the dates on the University summer calendar will not apply to you.  Refer to the special session refund policy.
