Please note - Our drop deadline is changing for the Fall 2026 term starting on August 5:
- Summer 2026 term: You must submit your drop request by the end of the term (see term dates).
- Fall 2026 term and beyond (starting August 5): After the midterm deadline (see term dates) you have 5 business days to submit this form.
For the Fall 2026 term, this form is due on Friday, December 4, 2026.
Drop Policy:
- If you have completed work beyond the midterm, you are not eligible to drop and a grade will be reported on your transcript.
- If you have not worked beyond the midterm and would like to drop your course now, please fill out the Drop Request Form. The last day to submit a drop must be requested by the term end date.
- If you have not completed any work beyond the midterm and you do not complete the course, you will automatically not receive a final grade and it will not be recorded on your transcript. In summary, there’s no record of you having taken the course. You will only receive a notification of having dropped the course if you fill out the Drop Request Form.
A drop is not the same as a refund. Refunds are not issued for dropping a course outside of the refund policy. Refer to UC Scout’s Policies page.
