Deadline to add courses or drop courses and receive a full refund
You can add or drop courses for a short period of time after the Official Course Start Date. Any courses dropped by the deadline will be fully refunded and there is no charge for adding courses within this timeframe.
Semesters with variable start and end dates
Some semester codes have variable start and end dates and so have variable deadlines to add and drop courses. These semester codes are: SU1 (Summer One - Jan start), SU2 (Summer Two - Nov start), T1 (Term One), T2 (Term Two), T3 (Term Three), T4 (Term Four), CY (Cross Year), X (General non-calendar-based), X1 (Special non-calendar-based One), X2 (Special non-calendar-based Two), A (Anytime start), excluding thesis courses.
The deadline for each course depends on the course's semester code (eg 'S1' or 'Semester One') - check for the relevant semester code below.
