Students may make changes to their schedules during the designated registration period. Courses can be added and/or dropped online using Self-Service for Students in the Walsh Student Portal or by Walsh email. Any course dropped during the add/drop period will not be reflected on the student’s academic transcript. There is no fee for adding or dropping courses.
A student may add classes to their schedule through the seventh day of the semester*. Please refer to the academic calendar for specific registration dates for the current semester.
A student may drop classes through the fourteenth day of the semester*. For courses dropped through the eighth day of the semester, 100 percent of the tuition charges will be credited to the student’s account*.

*See the Tuition Refund Policy section of the handbook for information on refundability of fees. Please refer to the academic calendar for specific refund dates for the current semester.
A student may change sections of a currently enrolled course through the fourteenth day of the semester. The section must be an open course with seats available. Instructor permission will be required to add into the new section and will be the responsibility of the student to obtain. There is no fee for changing sections of a currently enrolled course. Requests can be sent to records@walshcollege.edu, will need to be sent from the student’s Walsh email account, and will need to contain approval from the instructor. Students are responsible for investigating the timing/grade consequences of late registration prior to adding the class. Some assignments/activities and therefore points (i.e.: in-class participation credit) may not be able to be made up. Please note that assignments, assessments, etc. completed in the first and second weeks of the course may not be transferable.
Add/drop requests submitted by Walsh email will be considered as received on the date submitted.
The student is solely responsible for adjustments to their personal, professional, extracurricular, and employment schedules as they relate to class attendance.
A student who does not officially drop their course within the first two weeks of classes is financially obligated to pay for the course(s) even if they have not attended any sessions. * This includes any fees that have been added to the student account. Students receiving federal financial aid must review the Tuition Refund Policy Effect on Financial Aid Recipients section in this Handbook.
*Dates pertain to 11-week courses. Dates for courses that meet for less than 11 weeks may differ. Dates for these courses can be found on the Walsh Student Portal and/or the course syllabus.
Note: An international student on an F-1 visa must consult with the designated school official/international advisor in the Admissions and Academic Advising office before dropping a class that will result in less than full-time status.
