DYSON CORE COURSE DROP POLICY

This is a reminder for any Dyson students enrolled in one of the following core courses, that you are not permitted to drop without first submitting a petition. The Dyson core curriculum is structured to give students the framework they need in introductory level courses to then move on to upper-level electives and required concentration coursework. Petitions are reviewed on an individual basis, and students must exhibit "rare and extenuating circumstances" to be approved.

The general petition form can be found on the Dyson Launchpad. Students whose petition is ultimately approved to drop a core course may not receive scheduling preference or priority in future semesters for that same course.

University drop deadline dates are still in effect. Any petitions to drop a core course received by the March 20, 2023, drop deadline that are approved will result in a drop (no record on the transcript). Any petitions to drop a core course received after the drop deadline that are approved will result in a "W" on the transcript. There are no additional exceptions to waiving a "W" after the drop deadline.
