Bright Futures and Dropped Courses: If you drop a course or courses after the drop/add period, you must repay the amount you were funded for the dropped class or classes. The student must repay UF, which will in turn remit the funds to the Florida Department of Education.
UF GPA will not be affected. You are still held fee liable for the all the courses in that semester.
Students are allowed two drops in the first 60 hours of enrollment at UF, and two additional drops after 60 hours. All drops must be approved by your Academic Advisor. To request a drop, sign on to ONE.

“A drop from the course is usually done early in the semester and has no impact on the student's grade, GPA or transcript,” Croskey says. However, students should be very aware of deadlines, financial aid requirements and course timelines before dropping a class.
ADD A CLASS AFTER THE DROP/ADD DEADLINE In some circumstances, a class can be added to a student's schedule after the official drop/add deadline. This can only be done by meeting with your academic advisor. Do NOT use the online system to request to add a class.
C- - For each semester hour, 1.6667 quality points are allowed. D - Poor but passing; for each semester hour, 1.0 quality point is allowed. F - Failed. This mark indicates poor scholastic work, or failure to report withdrawal from a course.

Full Member. 1, or maybe 2, W's is generally okay, but >5 is a major red flag. This sends the message that when the going gets tough, you cut and run rather than tough it out & do what you need to do to succeed.
Dropping a class is much better for your GPA than failing a class or getting a C or D in it is because a dropped class does not affect your grade point average. Dropping a class may also raise your GPA because it can allow you to spend more time on other classes and raise your grades in them.
Serious and Compelling Reasons An extended absence due to a death in the immediate family. This applies to absences exceeding a week due to family affairs that must be attended to by the student. A necessary change in employment status which interferes with the student's ability to attend class.

Drop/add is the period following initial registration when students may make class schedule adjustments. Drop/add dates are shown in UF’s Dates and Deadlines (as listed in the Academic Calendar). Courses can be dropped or added during drop/add without penalty.
After drop/add, students can drop a course with the approval of their college up until the drop deadline in the academic calendar. Students will receive a grade of W on the transcript and are fee liable for the dropped course.
Classes that meet for the first time after drop/add closes can be dropped without penalty or fee liability if the request is submitted by the end of the next business day after the first class meeting. Failure to attend a class does not constitute a drop.
Students can petition the drop/add policy for these circumstances: Students with disabilities who need to drop a course due to disability-related reasons. Students who can document extenuating circumstances that have occurred since the course began.
Students who enter the university as freshmen are allowed two drops in their first 60 hours at UF, and two drops after 60 hours. AA degree transfer students are allowed two drops.
Students who are thinking of dropping a class due to grades may benefit from restructuring study time, joining a study group, or taking advantage of tutoring resources.
Withdrawing from UF. Withdrawal is defined as dropping all courses, not individual courses, in a term. Students who leave UF without withdrawing formally will receive failing grades for all courses.
For assistance by Dean of Students’ staff, email umatter@ufl.edu for help or to set up an appointment for options for success after a medical withdrawal.
If you are living in university housing, you must vacate your residence hall and review the obligations of your housing contract.
You have two drops available to you during your first 60 hours taken at UF (this does not include AP, IB, AICE, and dual enrollment credit). After earning 60 UF credits, you are eligible for two more drops. Unused drops do not carry over from the freshman/sophomore years to the junior/senior years.
When deciding whether or not to drop a course, you should first fully evaluate your situation. The following guidelines can help you with the decision-making process: 1 Determine the grades you have earned in the course so far. 2 Review your course syllabus for grading policies and the grading scale. 3 Calculate the number of points you need to obtain the desired grade. 4 Talk to your professor (and/or TA) to get an opinion on your chances for achieving the desired grade. 5 Consult with a financial aid advisor (S107 Criser) to determine the financial consequences for dropping the course.#N#Bright Futures Scholarships Information#N#Contact My Financial Aid Adviser 6 Contact your academic advisor to request to drop the course and discuss the consequences for dropping the course, strategies and alternatives to dropping, resource options, and ways to improve your future chances for academic success.
To late add a Heavener School of Business course, business majors must obtain permission from the instructor, electronic consent from the department who offers the course, and then the assistance of an advisor in 333 Heavener Hall to add the course. To late add a non-business course, business majors must obtain permission from the instructor, electronic consent from the department who offers the course, and then the assistance of an advisor in 333 Heavener Hall to add the course.
If dropping a course will take you below 12 credit hours (or 6 hours in a summer term), you should consult a financial aid advisor in S107 Criser to determine how the drop will affect your financial aid. Be aware that your eligibility for university athletic events, on-campus housing, and family health and automobile insurance may also be affected if you are registered for less than 12 hours.
If you drop a course during the drop/add period, it does not count as a drop and will not be reflected on your transcript. If you drop a course after the drop/add period, it will count as one of your two upper or lower division drops and a letter grade of W (Withdrawal) will appear on your transcript. Generally, a few W’s on your transcript will not harm your academic record.
Students on Bright Futures Scholarships will have to repay tuition for dropped courses or withdrawals. Petitions can be made to the Student Petitions Committee.
You can petition the School for additional drops if you can document an extenuating circumstance that was beyond your control (i.e. personal injury or illness, a natural disaster, death in the family). Petition forms are available on our website or at 333 Heavener Hall.
Are all exam and dual enrollment credits posted? Exam credits should be posted both to Test Scores and the UF transcript by the end of July. Dual enrollment credits through the Spring term should also be posted to the UF transcript by that time as well. If you have credits that are not posted, email freshman@ufl.edu to ask what you need to do to get your credits posted.
Drop/add for Summer is only 2 days and Fall is only 5 days! Be sure to look at the drop/add dates for each term on the Academic Calendar in one.uf.edu. Review your schedule one final time on the last day – sometimes students mean to drop something but never do.
You would likely benefit from registering with the Disability Resource Center to receive academic accommodations and services. If you are struggling with academics but do not have a diagnosis, the DRC also offers screeners to help identify possible diagnoses. Students can call to set up appointments with the DRC by calling 352-392-8565.
Schedule adjustment is delayed to give everyone an equal chance of being able to add open seats during Preview. There is no way to predict which seats will be open at a particular time during schedule adjustment. When you log on to the system, you can see what is open at that moment.
Often there’s a domino effect—a student adds an open seat in a desired course/section and drops something else, another student finds that seat and drops something else, and so on. If you get a message stating you lack the prerequisite for a course, there is a number of possible reasons for this.
Review your schedule and make sure you are not repeating a class for which you have credit – unless you are doing so deliberately (e.g., taking a course to refresh before going on to another course in the sequence). Repeating a course essentially replaces your previous credit for the course. You cannot earn credit twice for the same course.
You cannot earn credit twice for the same course. In addition, registration appointments for the next term are set by the number of credits earned, so if you are bringing in a lot of credits and they are posted to your record, you will get to register earlier for future terms.
Speak with an advisor and your financial aid counselor (if you receive aid) before dropping a class.
Attempted hours include all hours taken at UF, except dropped or withdrawn courses. Incoming credits (AP, IB, AICE, or dual enrollment) and transfer credits do not count toward the 60 hours. It’s not easy to determine hours attempted at UF, feel free to contact your advisor to see where you stand.
UF uses the Canvas platform for online classes. To access Canvas, go to https://elearning.ufl.edu/ or go to one.uf.edu -> Student Self-Service. Click on e-learning in the left-hand menu. Log in to e-learning (Canvas) and your courses should appear on your dashboard. For helpful hints, see https://elearning.ufl.edu/keep-learning/.
If you want comprehensive advising (e.g., review a grad plan, talk about potential majors or double majors/minors, overseas studies, etc.), see an advisor after drop/add but within the first month of classes. Demand for advising begins to grow as registration for the next term approaches and advisors will have less time as the semester goes on.
Go to Registration Prep as soon as you receive that email.
You MUST clear any holds that start with the words “ You may not register ”. Some of these holds you can clear yourself (e.g., updating emergency contact info). Others will direct you to do something specifically – or contact an office (e.g., Admissions or Bursar). You should follow the instructions in the hold. The ONLY way for the Campus Clarity hold to be lifted is for you to complete that online program. It takes a while so complete it at least several days before registration begins.
Talk to the instructor to make sure you accurately understand where you stand in the course. Then talk with your college/major advisor to determine the potential academic consequences of dropping the class. Dropping may be a better option than getting a D or failing, but you should understand the potential consequences either way. Also, you have a limited number of drops and each college has policies about dropping, so consulting your advisor is key. Finally, if you receive any financial aid or scholarships, you should discuss with your Financial Aid counselor how dropping would impact your aid.
You cannot drop your course in ONE.UF. If you drop your course in ONE.UF you will still be liable for tuition.
If it is after the drop/add deadline and a student requests to drop their course it will be considered a withdrawal.
