The drop period

After the Add Period, students may decide to drop a course from their schedule without penalty as long as they maintain a minimum of 12 degree credits. The drop date is the 45th instructional day of the semester. Course drops can be done on my.olin.edu during the add period. After the add period period, requests for drops must be made through the Registrar’s office and require the instructor and advisor signatures. It is strongly recommended that the student notify the faculty teaching the course.

For half semester courses, the Drop Period is 10 days prior to the last day of instruction for that session.
