Adding and Dropping Courses (Drop and Add period)

Dropping and Adding of Courses

Dropping and Adding Rules
Dhofar University follows the credit system where students register for a certain number of credits per semester. A student is given the opportunity to choose his/her courses with the academic advisor during the registration period. However, after selecting a schedule, a student has the opportunity to make changes during the Drop and Add period by submitting an approved “Drop and Add Form” to the Office Admission and Registration. A student should take care not to change all the courses he/she has previously chosen, but only one or two courses, if change is a must.

Changing a Section
A student may change a section provided that the change will not create a time conflict with his/her current schedule. The student must submit an approved “Change of Section Form” to the Office Admission and Registration during the drop/add period.

Drop/Add Period
The drop/add period is usually the first week of the semester. Only the courses that remain in the schedule by the last day of the drop/add period will appear on the student’s permanent academic record and transcripts. No changes in the schedule is allowed after the drop/add period without the permission of the academic advisor and the approval of the Administrative Committee of the college.

Tuition Adjustments for Drop and Add
When a student withdraws from courses within refundable period and his/her load drops below 12 credits, refund is pro-rated in accordance with the above mentioned rules.
