How to Drop a Course through My.IllinoisState.edu

Last modified 11/15/2024

Course Completion

While students are strongly advised to complete all courses they are enrolled in, the option to drop a course is still offered. The withdrawal deadlines are different for each semester. A student must withdraw from the course within the time offered. During the registration dates, a student can drop a course through My.IllinoisState.edu. Once registration is closed, a student cannot drop a course online through My.IllinoisState.edu, they must contact the Registrar’s office for a request to do so. For more information on course drops and withdrawals, please visit https://registrar.illinoisstate.edu/registration/class-drop-withdraw/

Dropping a Course Through My.IllinoisState.edu

To reiterate, the option to drop a course within My.IllinoisState.Edu without a negative mark on the student’s record is only offered during the semester’s registration dates. Once this deadline ends, a student must contact the Registrar’s office to request a course withdrawal, which will show on their academic record. These instructions are for students who wish to drop a course through My.IllinoisState.Edu during the dates they are allowed to do so.

If you are a student who wants to drop a course after the deadline, you can contact the Registrar’s Office at (309) 438-2188 or by email at Registrar@IllinoisState.edu
