And to add to Kelsmom’s fine post- a kid who can’t be bothered to figure out the drop/add date, is likely to be the kid who is SHOCKED to discover that they are under-enrolled and are not meeting SAP.
Parents- remind your kid that the deadlines listed are not “soft dates” or optional. These are hard deadlines which determine whether or not you can drop a class without it showing up on your transcript OR showing up as a W if you’ve withdrawn too late.
