Want More Or Less Classes?

A guide of adding and dropping courses

Want More Or Less Classes?
Gaelle Gilles

With classes just beginning, some students may wonder how one can add or drop a class; some classes may prove to be too hard, or one student would like to tackle another class to graduate in a timely manner. A student can easily adjust their course load by going on KeanWISE and following a few simple steps.

If a student would like to drop a class please follow the instructions below:

  • Log in to KeanWISE

  • Go to the ‘Registration’ tab and click on ‘Register for Sections’

  • Click on the link that reads ‘Drop Sections’

  • Select the desired class or classes to be dropped and click ‘Submit’

If a student would like to add a class please follow the instructions below:

  • Log in to KeanWISE

  • Go to the ‘Registration’ tab and click on ‘Register for Sections’

  • Click on the link “Search and Register for Classes”

  • Fill in the needed information

  • Once the desired course is found, click the box next to it and press ‘Submit’

  • When brought to the next page, simply press the pull down box and click ‘Register’

  • Please note that if a student decides to take more than 19 credits, a waiver is required. Please refer to this website for more information: kean.edu/sites/default/files/u4/Registration_Petition.pdf   

Students are only allowed to drop classes in the spring and fall semesters. Below are dates for when a student can get a refund for dropping a class:

  • January 21 to January 27: students can receive a 100 percent refund

  • January 28 to February 3: students can receive a 75 percent refund

  • February 4 to February 10: students can receive a 50 percent refund

  • February 11 to March 2: students can receive a ‘W’ or withdrawal grade on one’s transcript with a 0 percent refund

  • Any day after March 2: students will receive an incomplete grade and get 0 percent refund

Keep in mind that dropping a class after March 2 will result in the student having to either retake the course the following semester or makeup the ‘incomplete’ grade the following semester. For anyone who is adding a class, the last day to do so is Friday, February 20, 2015.
