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

  1. Go to Vergil.
  2. Log on using UNI and password.
  3. Click on Class List link.
  4. 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  • Request Withdrawn: Request has been withdrawn.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.
