Senator Morrison charged the executive and undergraduate committee with looking at the drop/add policy.

Normally when a section closes students seek out other classes. But some students are swamping faculty with requests to add themselves to a closed class. A possibility might be: Students can drop first week without penalty and the second week with penalty.

Also, many students wait until the last moment to drop, which means students can’t add the course for at least two weeks.

Senator Bowers mentioned that undergraduate advisors in B&E have also requested that the drop/add policy be revised.

Senator Morgan provided a counter example where this could be problematic.

A recommendation was made to include the Assistant Deans in this discussion and others who may have information relevant to this process.
