I am not sure how to add/drop classes online.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @aileenweise and welcome to the Community! Your best option to add/drop a course would be to contact someone at your institution (Registrar, director of your academic program, etc.). Many institutions have their systems set up so that to add or drop a course you need to go through a formal process. This helps ensure that everyone is aware of schedule changes and how they may impact you academic plan or other items like financial aid. At my institution, for example, when the formal drop paperwork is processed by our Registrar, this is updated automatically in Canvas.
I hope this helps and best wishes!
