Course Schedule Changes

To ADD a course THROUGH THE FIRST FRIDAY of the semester:

Add courses via your My Buckeye Link page. The web site will reassess your fees automatically.

When completing the registration process, a course status of "success" means you are enrolled. If the status is "pending" or "errors," click the status link to determine required action. A Course Enrollment Permission form is needed for courses with any of the following errors.

  • requisite not met
  • section full
  • time conflict
  • permission required
  • hours are over 18

Follow the instructions on the cover sheet of the form to submit for approvals and processing.

To ADD a course or CHANGE a section (change to a different lab or lecture) AFTER THE FIRST FRIDAY of the semester:

  • Complete and submit a Course Enrollment Permission form following the instructions on the cover sheet.
  • The Deadline for adding a course is the second Friday of each semester. After this date, a student must petition to the Ohio State ATI Academic Affairs Office. A late add will be approved only if unusual or extenuating circumstances exist beyond the student's control. If the circumstances do not meet these criteria, you will not be permitted to attend the course.
  • You will only receive credit for courses in which you are officially enrolled.

To DROP a course THROUGH THE FOURTH FRIDAY of the semester:

  • Drop the course via your My Buckeye Link page. The web site will reassess fees automatically.

If you need to DROP a course AFTER THE FOURTH FRIDAY and through the TENTH FRIDAY of the semester:

  • Complete and submit a Course Enrollment Permission form following the instructions on the cover sheet.  You will receive an email response from ATI Academic Affairs when processed.
  • A mark of "W" will be entered on your record for the dropped course(s).
  • If you stop attending a course and do not complete this drop process, you will receive a failing grade (E or EN) for that course.

If you need to DROP a course AFTER THE TENTH WEEK of the semester:

  • A petition to drop must be completed and returned to the Ohio State ATI's Academic Affairs Office. Approval will be based on evidence of circumstances beyond the student's control. Lack of preparation or dissatisfaction with the course are not acceptable reasons to drop a course or withdraw this late in the semester. If the petition is denied, you will continue to be enrolled in the course and are expected to complete the requirements for a final grade. If the petition is approved a mark of "W" will be entered on your record.
