Managing Add/Drop (Faculty)
Students have the option to add or drop courses through the Change-of-Program Period.
Sometimes students at select schools may need to add or drop courses during the Post-Change-of-Program Period, which may require instructor and/or advisor approval.
This page outlines the steps necessary for faculty to manage add/drop requests from students.
Managing Add/Drop
The Add/Drop Tool for the Post-Change-of-Program Period provides an electronic mechanism for students to add/drop courses after the Change-of Program Period by electronically routing requests to the course instructor and, where appropriate, the student’s advisor, using Vergil.
Visit the Change-of-Program Period page made for students for more information.
If instructor approval is required for a student to add a course, a request from the student will appear in Vergil awaiting approval.
Login Instructions
- Go to Vergil.
- Log on using UNI and password.
- Click on Class List link.
- A notice will appear at the top of the course roster that will include a link to all pending requests.
Add/Drop Request Statuses
- Request Completed: Request has been approved; student has completed the transaction.
- Approved: Request has been approved; student has not yet completed the transaction.
- Pending: Request is pending—one or more approvals have not been satisfied.
- Request Withdrawn: Request has been withdrawn.
Pending Requests
The Request Column indicates the type of request. Requests to add or replace (meaning switch sections of a course they are already registered for) require instructor approval; requests to drop do not require your approval.
You can use the Instructor Consent column to perform your actions. If a request is marked Pending, you can approve or deny the request. If you perform an action and want to retract it, a button will appear allowing you to reverse your decision. The phrase Not Needed will appear for drop requests that do not need you approval.
