As of June 14, 2024, the University Senate is dissolved and will be replaced by a Faculty Senate. During the transition, this site will continue to hold relevant information for the continuation of duties. The previous University Senate rules have been transitioned to Administrative Regulations. Information on Curriculog, proposals and syllabi has permanently moved to the Office of the Provost website under Curriculum Proposals.

If you have any questions regarding the transition, please email facultysenatetransition@uky.edu or Christine Harper, Acting Associate Provost for Academic Operations at christine.harper@uky.edu.

Stop Taking a Course - Early in the Semester

I want to stop taking a course I am taking right now, and it’s very early in the semester.

There is a brief period (during roughly the first week or two of classes) at the beginning of every semester, session, and term when a student can add and drop courses without many restrictions. This is called “add/drop.” During add/drop, a student can drop a class for any reason and will not be charged for the class, nor will the dropped class show up on the student’s transcript.

Please see the dates in the table below to see if you can simply drop the course via add/drop. The amount of tuition refunded is based upon the date by which you stop taking your course(s). The Registrar posts official versions of University calendars. Those pages are the official records; below are helpful dates as of June 2016. Check the Registrar's calendar for official dates.
