Swapping Courses

When you swap a class, you will be simultaneously dropped from one class and added another. 

If you are swapping out of a course that is your last course for a session (8W, 5W, etc.) and the session has already begun, you are withdrawing from the session and tuition and fees charges/adjustments will apply. Please review deadlines on the Student Accounting website.

The system will not drop or withdraw you from the selected class, unless the add to the new class is successful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I swap classes from one session to another? (Example 8w1, 8w2)

No, you cannot swap a class to a different session. You would have to drop the session you are enrolled in and add the new class manually.

If the first day of class has started, if the class you are dropping is the last class in the session, it will result in a withdraw for the session and tuition and fees will apply. For tuition and fee adjustment deadlines, please see the Student Accounting website.

When should I use the “swap” feature to enroll in a waitlisted class?

"SWAP" allows you to remain in one class while waitlisted in a second class. If you are enrolled from the waitlist, the original class will be dropped. "SWAP" should be used in the following scenarios:

  • If you are already enrolled in another section of the class for which you wish to waitlist.
  • If you have a time conflict between an enrolled section and the class section for which you want to waitlist.
  • If you are already enrolled in the maximum number of credit hours for a term and want to still get on a waitlist.

For more information about the waitlist, please visit Waitlists.
