Graduate School Student Forms

I have to drop/add a class, what do I do?

During the first four days of classes, students have an open add/drop period in which they can add and drop courses. Students are financially liable for any fees that appear on their schedule at the close of the add/drop period. After the add/drop period, the administrative staff is able to drop students’ courses through the SEVENTH week of classes, per University policy. After the seventh week of classes, courses may ONLY be dropped due to exceptional circumstances. Such courses will appear on the student’s transcript with the notation, “WD.” If students wish to drop a course after the seventh week of classes, they must contact Anne's College's Graduate Director, Lisa Beverly.

I passed my prelim exam early in the semester, can I now add dissertation hours?

A student cannot add dissertation hours during the semester in which prelims are passed. However, as long as the prelim exam is passed by the end of the seventh week of the semester, he/she may swap out DIS hours for dissertation hours. DIS hours are the only hours that can be switched to dissertation hours. Please contact the Anne's College Graduate Director for further information.

I passed my prelim exam after the seventh week of the semester and am now a doctoral candidate, but I cannot register for dissertation hours next semester.

Although you have passed prelims, you are not technically a doctoral candidate until your professor submits your grade at the close of the semester. This means that you will not be able to register for dissertation hours during your pre-registration window. Knowing that you are going to register for dissertation hours during the add/drop period at the beginning of the following semester, it is recommended that you build a schedule by simply registering for a course. On the first day of the add/drop period, you will add dissertation hours and drop the course. In doing so, you will avoid a $100 late registration fee.
