The add period

During the first 10 instructional days of a semester, students may alter their schedules by adding and/or dropping a course on-line using my.olin.edu. Discussions between students and their advisors are strongly recommended. Students are responsible for submitting their request no later than the 10th class day. Courses cannot be added after the 10th class day. Special circumstances may be granted for BBW sponsored courses when there is a variation in the academic calendars.

Half semester courses have a prorated Add Period.  It is the first five days of the session. Note: Independent Study and Research are available for a full-semester only and cannot be added in a second session.
