Course Add/Drop Procedures

The Department of Economics follows UC San Diego's deadlines for adding, dropping, and wait-listing classes.  Adding a class after the deadline is allowed only in exceptional cases such as a verified clerical error by the registrar or the college/department. After the University add deadline, students with extraordinary circumstances or with documentation of a university error may petition the Department of Economics to add courses. Extraordinary circumstances do not include: not being added to the course from the waitlist, forgetting to add a course, etc. Students with an extraordinary circumstance may submit a completed Undergraduate Student Petition, with a written explanation (and documentation, if applicable) to Sequoyah Hall room 245.  As a reminder the University add deadline is the end of week two.
