Notes:
- Once the W period begins for fall and spring semesters, students will drop their courses through the extended drop process. They will contact their advisor, and the advisor will lift their advising flag, allowing the student 72 hours to drop their course in BearWeb.
- If changing sections of the same course before the W period, drop with DD
- When dropping a class with a DD, please remember to delete the class from SFAREGS. If the class remains on SFAREGS with DD, it will appear on the student’s schedule via BearWeb, and it would prevent the student from registering for another section of that course as the registration system views that as a duplicate add. Once you’ve entered the DD in the status field, click on Shift F6 to remove and then SAVE.

Fall 2024 Drops/Withdrawals
Reminder: Starting on the first class day, do not drop a student's full schedule.
University Withdrawal is defined as discontinuing all classes for the current term a student is enrolled. A University Withdrawal occurs on or after the first day of classes, and prior to the University Withdrawal deadline.
Students requiring a University Withdrawal should fill out the University Withdrawal form. The form and information about a University Withdrawal are located on this page: University Withdrawal | Office of the Registrar | Baylor University
A student communicating their desire to withdraw to their advisor, or other faculty/staff member, does not constitute a University Withdrawal. A University Withdrawal is only initiated once the student submits a University Withdrawal form.
If an advisor or student is unsure if the student requires a University Withdrawal, they should reach out to the Office of the Registrar as soon possible. Delays in Withdrawal form submission could impact refund percentages. The date a University Withdrawal form is submitted is the effective date of the University Withdrawal.
