Dean’s Drop Request
When to Use
/ The Dean’s Drop Request page allows you to adjust the impact a course drop has on a student’s transcript notation and/or tuition reimbursement.
The Dean’s Drop Request page in ISIS allows Deans offices to:
§  Adjust the ‘Drop’ date on the transcript.
§  Adjust a ‘Drop’ refund percent.
§  Drop a Course for a student after the drop deadline has passed.
The Dean’s Drop Request page means you will:
§  No longer fill out an Academic Action form to adjust a Drop Date.
§  No longer see drop notations on the Dean’s Actions page.
§  No longer fill out a course change request to drop a course after the Drop Deadline.
When NOT to Use
/ The Dean’s Drop Request page should not be used for:
§  Course Section Changes
Tip: To process a course section change, the department or instructor
submits a modified class roster to enrollment services.
§  Student Withdrawals
Tip: To process a withdrawal, follow the standard process
using the Withdrawal Form.
§  Drop Student’s Last Course
Tip: If you submit a request to drop the last course a student is enrolled
in, we will contact you and ask that a withdrawal form be submitted.
Drop Dates
/ The Dean’s Drop Request page displays all section/course drops starting from the first day of the session at the top of the page followed by all enrolled sections/courses.
The Drop/Withdrawal (DR/W) date for the regular A1 session is usually the Wednesday of the second week of the session. The Drop Deadline is later in the session. To see session dates, drop deadline dates, and tuition refund percentages, follow this ISIS menu path: >Records and Enrollment >Dates and Deadlines >Sessions Dates and Deadlines.
The student should always use the enrollment system to drop their section/course(s) up until the Drop Deadline; As soon as a student drops a section/course using the enrollment system, the Dean’s Drop Request page will reflect the dropped section/course and date.
After the Drop Deadline, you must use the Dean’s Drop Request page to drop a course for a student. The section/course will not be in ‘Dropped’ Status until the request is processed by Enrollment Services.
