Registration forms, add/drop forms, and withdrawal forms all document the student's enrollment status and this documentation may impact the individual student's financial aid. Therefore, all registrations, drop/add requests, and withdrawals must have a student signature or be accompanied by written documentation from the student. The registration, drop/add, and withdrawal forms all have signature lines for the student, and this is the preferred method of documentation. Faxed forms from the student bearing his or her signature will be accepted, as well as printed copies of e-mail from the student. E-mails must be written by the student and clearly state the class(es) that he or she wants to add, drop, register for, or withdraw from.

The student's advisor (as the University's representative) must also sign the student's registration, drop/add, or withdrawal form. A student adding or withdrawing from a class which has already had at least one class meeting must also obtain the instructor's signature. If the instructor is unavailable, the student should obtain the signature of the chair or dean of the school on behalf of the professor. The chair or dean is responsible for notifying the instructor of the student's withdrawal in the event he or she signs a drop or withdrawal form on behalf of the professor.
