Adding and dropping courses

Students may add a course section using SIS self-service through the add deadline according to the schedule below. 

Students may drop a course section using SIS self-service until the drop deadline according to the schedule below. 

Once the self-service deadlines have passed, or if special permissions for enrollment changes are needed, students may request to add or withdrawfrom a section through SEAM's Online Form. Navigate to Records and Registration-->Add/drop inquiry-->Request Support to submit an add/drop/withdrawal request. Requests should include the following:

  • Term (i.e. Spring 2022)
  • Add or Drop/Withdraw
  • Special Permissions if needed (note special permissions included and attach supporting documentation)
  • Note any registration blocks encountered when attempting to add or drop via SIS Self-Service
  • Once your request has been processed, verify enrollment changes through SIS self-service 

Interdivisional registration requests: Carey students wishing to register for courses hosted by other divisions should follow the instructions above for making an add/drop request. Interdivisional registration requests should be reviewed with your academic advisor before submission. Carey Business School may require certain permissions and approvals, however, the school hosting the course will have final approval. Requests for students who do not meet Carey’s requirements will not be forwarded on to the host school. 

Dual degree: Dual degree students wishing to register for courses held at Carey should follow the registration instructions of their home division. Special permissions for enrollment should be submitted as needed with those requests. 

To review the registration policies and regulations, please view the Academic Catalogue. 

Federal aid recipients planning to drop or withdraw after the term begins, should review the financial aid policies. 

By submitting an add/drop/withdraw request through SIS self-service or through SEAM, students acknowledge that they have read and understand the registration and refund schedule below.

Full-Time or Flat Rate Student Refund Policy 

No refund will be granted for a full-time or flat rate student who takes a leave of absence, withdraws, does not attend, is placed on academic pause, is academically suspended or is dismissed from Carey Business School on or after the first day of the semester (semester is referred to as “term” in SIS and includes both session I and session II). In instances where a student is receiving federal financial aid, eligibility will be recalculated and funds may be refunded to the federal government. Please see the Return of Title IV Funds Policy. The student is still responsible for the entirety of the tuition. 

To receive a full-time degree, the student must pay the entire published cost of the tuition regardless of the number of terms needed to complete the degree. In all cases, students are required to pay the current year tuition rates. 

Note on Leave of Absences: Students will pay the current year tuition rate upon return from LOA. For students that already incurred tuition prior to LOA approval, a prorated tuition charge will be assessed upon return from LOA. 

Fees are generally non-refundable. Matriculation fees may be refundable if the student officially withdraws prior to the first day of the semester. 

Dual Degree programs will follow the policy of their home billing school.

Exceptions to the refund policy

Students who experience events beyond their control may request an exception to the course refund policy by submitting a general petition form to the Registrar’s Office. Petitions must be submitted in the same semester in which the course was taken and must be accompanied by documentation of the circumstances leading to the request.  Students who experience severe medical problems, a death in their immediate family, or who are called into active military duty may receive a 100% refund. Other requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and refund amounts (if awarded) will be decided by the registrar. Petitions are reviewed monthly, and notification of the final decision is sent to the student by email. 

The general petition form can be downloaded and submitted through SEAM's online form.
