How do I drop a course?
For the first 15 class days of the quarter, you can drop classes by telephone or BroncoDirect. After that, the College of Business requires that you must petition to drop a course. Petitions are only accepted for students who have 'serious and compelling difficulties' that would prevent them from completing a course. Neither failing a class, nor changes in work schedule are considered compelling reasons to drop classes.

How do I plan my courses?
Every student’s course plan is different. A good rule of thumb, however, is to take a mixture of TOM courses, Business Core courses, and General Education, and elective courses in any given quarter. This makes for a well-rounded schedule, and a more balanced work-load. Careful attention must be paid to prerequisite requirements in coursework. A four-year plan for students who start as freshmen, and a flow chart of the CIS core, are available under the curriculum link. Students also need to be realistic about how many courses they can carry in a given quarter. Good grades from 12 units are better than mediocre grades with 16 units.
