How to add or drop a course

How do I drop a course during the semester/school year?

Complete and save the course drop form and send to DualCredit@MissouriState.edu as an pdf email attachment. Indicate, in your email, the reason you would like to drop the course. Check these important dates and deadlines to determine if a partial refund will be available. The course must be dropped prior to the final drop deadline for there to be no impact on your transcript.

To drop a dual credit course, you must:

1. Inform your teacher of your intention to drop the course for dual credit.
2. Complete the course drop form. Please include the reason you are requesting to drop the course for dual credit.
3. Have your school counselor sign the form.
4. Send the completed and signed form to DualCredit@MissouriState.edu as a pdf attachment.

Please remember that high school and college registrations are separate. Failure to notify the Dual Credit staff of your wish to drop a college course will mean you will remain registered at the university for the course. Should you not complete the course, a failing grade will be posted to your official transcript. After dropping a course for college credit you may still remain in the class for regular high school credit.

How do I add or drop a course after the deadline dates or the end of the semester?

Dual credit courses cannot be added after the registration period has closed. Courses cannot be dropped once the course term has ended and/or a grade has been assigned. Registration dates and drop deadlines are clearly communicated and posted on our website. View the Important Dates and Deadlines for details.

In special cases, an appeal for a course Drop Exception or Late Enrollment may be reviewed and granted. These exceptions usually involve the following circumstances:

• Medical emergencies impeding completion of the course.
• Student moved out of or into the district during the term.
• Data or dual credit office error.
• A break in the registration workflow concerning a student's enrollment.
• Hardship cases.

To request a course add/drop (after the deadlines) or a grade appeal, submit the Registration/Drop/Grade Appeal Request. Also include the requested supporting documentation. Appeals without all requested documentation will be denied.

Appeal requests are reviewed on the third Tuesday of each month. The applicant will be notified via email of the decision and any required action for the appeal.

Email this form and the supporting documents to the Missouri State Dual Credit office at DualCredit@MissouriState.edu.
