Do I need an

Fall and Spring semesters:
An Instructor's signature is not required during
the first 4 weeks of the semester. However, during
this time, students are encouraged to access WebReg to drop a course.
Course drops processed within those first 4
weeks of the Fall and Spring semester do not appear on a student's
transcript.
During the 5th -- 8th week of the semester, WebReg
is no longer available for course drops. Students
are required to use a Change of Schedule form, with the Instructor's
signature, to drop a course.
After the end of the 8th week of the semester, along with the Instructor's signature on the Change of
Schedule form, an exception to the published dates and deadlines must be
approved and signed by the student's College Dean's Office for course
drops.
Summer and Winter Sessions:
Visit the Office
of Summer & Winter Sessions for dates and
deadlines pertaining to course drops.
How can I register for more than the maximum units allowed per semester?
To
register for more than the maximum
number of units allowed per semester (19 for undergraduate
students), you must have a signed Change of Schedule form with both the
instructor and dean's signatures.
Exception: If your Winter Session, PreSession or
Correspondence units are causing your units to exceed the term maximum,
you may need only the instructor's signature on the Change of
Schedule form. If your total
semester units (excluding Winter, PreSession or Correspondence) is
at or below the term maximum, only an instructor's signature is
required. Otherwise your college dean's signature is required.
For
example,
you are registered for 19 units (includes a 3 unit Winter course) and need to add a 3 unit English course...you only need the
instructor's signature. However, if you
are registered for 19 units (includes a 3 unit Winter course) and
you need to register for a 4 unit English course, you will need
both the instructor and dean's signature because your total number of
units (excluding the Winter course) will exceed the maximum allowed per
semester.
Note: After the 8th week of the Fall and Spring semester, any exception to the
published Dates and Deadlines must be approved and signed by the
instructor and your College
Dean's Office for ALL registration changes on a Change of Schedule form.
