Course Add/Drop Process for Online Students
Schedule Adjustments Prior to Start of Term
All students must register, drop, or add MUOnline courses using MAX web or phone. The MAX system is available daily until the term starts — see the Registrar's web site for specific dates.
Drop/Add and Course Withdrawal
All students enrolled in MUOnline courses must comply with the deadlines to drop/add or withdraw from courses, as published in the University's academic calendar (see Registrar's web site for specific dates). Refunds, if applicable, are determined according to the date the course was officially dropped and the refund policy in effect for that term (see Bursar’s web site).
Note: the procedure below applies to students who are ONLY enrolling in one or more MUOnline courses in a given term at Millersville. All other students who enroll in an MUOnline course in addition to other MU courses must follow the normal drop/add and withdrawal procedures, securing instructor signatures on drop/add cards, and both instructor and advisor signatures on course withdraw cards.
Add/Drop and Course Withdraw Cards available in the MAX Student Forms Center
Procedure to drop/add or withdraw from MUOnline courses: students taking ONLY MUOnline courses have the option to use the appropriate card, OR follow this procedure:
-
The student must e-mail the instructor of the MUOnline course to request an add /drop or course withdrawal. The email should include:
Examples: Student's name Millers V. Student Student ID (M#) M01234567 Student email student@yahoo.com Course CRN 6789 Subject, course number, section number EDUC 444.50 Course Credits 3 Term Spring 2006 - The faculty member will reply to the student's email indicating whether the request to drop/add or withdraw from the MUOnline course is approved or denied. The instructor will email a courtesy copy of the entire correspondence to the Registrar's Office (registrar@millersville.edu) for processing.
- The Registrar's Office will process approved drop/adds or course withdrawals and send confirmation to the student and the instructor.
NOTE: The date on the student's original email message to the faculty member will be used as the official drop/add or withdrawal date in the Registrar's Office.
All email drop/adds and course withdrawals must be completed by the deadlines for the term (see the Registrar's Office web site for specific dates).
