The Drop by Instructor allows an instructor to submit a request to drop a student from the instructor's course if the student exceeds the noted attendance and/or missed assignment policy outlined in the course syllabus. The instructor may use this portal to submit a Drop by Instructor request within the allowed dates noted below for the respective term.
A request submitted does not mean a student will be dropped. The Office of the Registrar will review the request and provide a final decision after their review. An approved request will result in the student receiving a grade of DR.
