How to Cancel, Add, Defer, Drop, or Withdraw

Students use a registration system called ConnectCarolina (log in via my.unc.edu), to register for, drop, or add classes held on campus. For instructions, helpful tips, and useful resources about this new process, see Student Guide: How to Register.

Cancel Your Registration

If you register but cannot attend, you must cancel your registration before classes begin. No entry will be made on your academic record. If payment has been made you can request a full refund. New Admits: If you do not register or if you cancel your registration for your initial semester of admission but want to attend the next semester, you must defer (see Defer Entry). If you do not defer, you must pay the application fee again if you apply for subsequent terms.

Spring 2013 Semester

  • Before Jan 9: Call Part-time Classroom Studies to request a cancellation.
  • Jan 9–Apr 26:
    • If you have not attended any classes, you can cancel if your instructor provides Part-time Classroom Studies with verification of non-attendance. Contact a Classroom Studies advisor for further information.
    • If you have attended any classes, you must WITHDRAW (see Withdraw from the University).

Fall 2013 Semester

  • Before Aug 20: Call Part-time Classroom Studies to request a cancellation.
  • Aug 20–Dec 4:
    • If you have not attended any classes, you can cancel if your instructor provides Part-time Classroom Studies with verification of non-attendance. Contact a Classroom Studies advisor for further information.
    • If you have attended any classes, you must WITHDRAW (see Withdraw from the University).

Add a Course

You can add courses via ConnectCarolina. See Registration for opening dates by student classification.

  • After Jan 15: Complete the add form at the Part-time Classroom Studies office. The professor teaching the course must approve the add.

  • After Aug 26: Complete the add form at the Part-time Classroom Studies office. The professor teaching the course must approve the add.

Defer Entry

If you are an undergraduate, you can defer your term of entry only if you have a physician-documented medical reason or military service prohibits you from attending school. If you want to postpone enrollment for reasons other than these, you will have to submit another application and pay another application fee.

If you are a postbaccalaureate student, you can defer your term of entry one time to the semester immediately following your original term of admission. No application fee is required. You must contact the Part-time Classroom Studies office by the end of the second week of class if you would like to defer. If you defer but do not register in the next semester, you forfeit your admission. If you later decide to return to Part-time Classroom Studies, you must complete a new application and pay the nonrefundable application fee.

Drop a Course

You can drop a course on or before the deadlines as long as one course remains on your schedule.

If you drop wish to drop all your courses or your only course after classes have begun, you must come to Part-time Classroom Studies office at the Friday Center to process a withdrawal form (see Withdraw from the University); otherwise the University Registrar will reinstate your last course and you will receive both a bill and a grade.

(If you are dropping or withdrawing after the deadline and have extenuating circumstances, you may submit an appeal. Contact a Part-time Classroom Studies advisor for a copy of the appeals guidelines.)

Withdraw from the University

Dropping all of your courses constitutes a withdrawal from the University and requires readmission for future semesters. Your permanent academic record will reflect a withdrawal for that semester. If you do not process a withdrawal by the last day of classes, you will receive a grade of FA (Failing/Absent) in your course(s). Each FA is computed as an F in your grade point average. You cannot withdraw after the last day of classes.

To withdraw, obtain a withdrawal form from Part-time Classroom Studies. Notifying your instructor, contacting the University Registrar’s office, or contacting the Student Accounts office does not drop you from a course or withdraw you from the University.

Spring 2013

  • Before Mar 13: Return the signed withdrawal form to Part-time Classroom Studies. Your refund will be prorated depending on the date of withdrawal (see Tuition Refund Schedule).
  • Mar 14–Apr 26: Return the signed form to Part-time Classroom Studies. You will not receive a refund, but you will avoid receiving an FA for the course. If you have extenuating circumstances, you may submit an appeal for a refund.

Fall 2013

  • Before Oct 22: Return the signed withdrawal form to Part-time Classroom Studies. Your refund will be prorated depending on the date of withdrawal (see Tuition Refund Schedule).
  • Oct 23–Dec 4: Return the signed form to Part-time Classroom Studies. You will not receive a refund, but you will avoid receiving an FA for the course. If you have extenuating circumstances, you may submit an appeal for a refund.

Withdrawing will terminate your active status with the University. Your UNC One Card will be deactivated. To register for a future semester, you must apply for readmission; no fee is required. After three years, you must apply as a new student.
