Schedule Changes

Students should always consult their academic advisor before making any schedule change requests. Adding/dropping courses or changing a course from graded to audit or Pass/Not Pass can have serious implications on your academic success. Making any change to a schedule could impact your ability to graduate on time and may also have financial implications.

Schedule Changes

Adding and dropping classes can be done via AccessPlus with limited access after the first day of classes. If you would like to add or drop a course please first check AccessPlus.

Adds

Continuing students may register for courses via AccessPlus.  Registration dates are based on projected year-in-school classification.

Drop

To drop a course:

100% Distance Students (if you are taking all online courses and/or are enrolled in an online degree program):

• AccessPlus — (limited access to schedule changes after the first day of class)
• Email Engineering-LAS Online Learning (ELO) at elo@iastate.edu

On-Campus Students (if you are taking any on-campus course along with your online course and/or enrolled in an on-campus degree program):

• Access Plus — (limited access to schedule changes after the first day of class)
• Email your advisor to begin the drop process

Withdrawal

If a student wishes to drop all of the courses they are currently registered for they must also request a withdrawal be processed for them via a withdrawal form. Students in all distance sections can contact Engineering-LAS Online Learning at elo@iastate.edu to request your courses be dropped and to have you withdrawn. Students taking any on campus courses need to contact their advisor.

Tuition Adjustment

Tuition is calculated from the first day of class onward. Informing your instructor of your wish to drop a course is not a sufficient way to drop the course; drops must be processed through AccessPlus or by contacting Engineering-LAS Online Learning (ELO) at elo@iastate.edu.

**In order to receive a full refund, you must drop the class no later than the day BEFORE the class is scheduled to begin. NOTE: Failure to attend or login to the course or failure to pay tuition does not constitute a drop. You can verify your drop on AccessPlus or through the Registrar’s Office. For more information on tuition and fees adjustment deadlines please visit the Office of the Registrar’s Tuition Adjustment page.**
