What schools offer a "shopping period" for classes?

Notre Dame is another school which allows late drops without showing a “W” or other designation on the transcript - basically, middle of the semester, we’ve heard from kids we know who attend. So apparently a lot of students overload on credits, then see how they are doing through mid-terms, then drop the course which is their lowest grade. On the one hand, I like the idea of the flexibility to get more of a sense of your schedule, beyond just the more typical two week window. On the other hand, mid-semester drop seems a bit more flexible than necessary to give students time to gauge their interest etc.
