Add / Drop / Withdrawal Instructions
Degree-seeking students:
Students can add, swap or drop courses using myZou beginning on the day when your registration period opens until the add/drop period ends. See the add/drop schedule for date information.
- Dropping a course after a certain portion of the session has passed will result in the student receiving a "W" or "F" for the course depending upon the instructor's evaluation of course work completed prior to the drop date. Refer to the dates and deadlines calendar for information.
- If you intend to drop or withdraw from ALL of your courses after you've registered, note that you will be unable to drop or withdraw from the last remaining course on your schedule through myZou. You will need to work through the Registrar's Office to process your withdraw. Contact Chris Marshall if you have questions.
Non-degree-seeking students:
Written notification is required to drop a course. If you wish to add a course you can complete another Direct Access form or e-mail your request to Sandy Gummersheimer.
To notify us of your intention to drop a course:
E-mail: GummersheimerS@missouri.edu
Fax: 573-882-5071

If mailing or faxing your drop request, please provide your signature and the date of the request. Students are financially responsible for all course-related fees at the time of enrollment. The amount of educational fees refunded will be based upon the University's refund schedule, and on the date written notification is received in the office, not on the last date of class attendance or participation. Students are advised to check the add/drop and refund schedules for more information.
