Enrollment: Dropping a class after the 7th-week deadline and before the 12th-week deadline (Late Drop)

Students may use up to two late drops before earning 60 hours. Students who have 60 or more earned hours are permitted one late drop.

  1. Go to Student Central > My Classes > Enrollment: Drop Classes. Select the correct semester.
  2. When your schedule appears on the screen, you must click the red “Click here to Drop a class for a closed enrollment term” button or the system will generate an error message.
  3. Follow the prompts to generate the drop form.
  4. Email the generated Late Course Drop PDF drop form to the College of Arts and Sciences Student Affairs Office from your FSU email address prior to 11:59 p.m. on the posted 12th-week deadline associated with the course in question. Note that summer sessions have prorated 12th-week deadlines.
  5. If you are using your late drop to drop your only course during a given semester, you should initiate the withdrawal by emailing College of Arts and Sciences Student Affairs Office before 11:59 p.m. on the 12th-week deadline associated with the course in question from your FSU email address. Note that summer sessions have prorated 12th-week deadlines. You should state that you wish to initiate a semester withdrawal for your only course using your late drop.
  6. Once the posted 12th-week deadline has passed for a given semester/summer session, you may only petition for course drops/withdrawals based on medical, mental health, or documented unforeseen personal hardship.
