Changing Course Registration

Students may add and drop courses using Banner, Brown's online registration system, for the first two weeks of a semester without charge.  Course changes made during the third and fourth weeks of a semester must be made in person at the Registrar's Office; a fee is assessed for each change.   First-year students making course changes after the first two weeks of the semester need the course instructor's and their advisor's signature for each course change.  The last day to add a course is the end of the fourth week of classes.

Students who change their course registration in Banner are advised to check their course registration, including their selected grade options, a day or two later to make sure that their online course registration reflects the changes they intended to make.

Students who change course registration in the third and fourth weeks of class will be given a copy of each change form filed.  Students are strongly advised to keep their copies in a readily available location in the event there is any question that they filed the required forms.
