Add, Drop, or Change a Course 

If you wish to add or drop a course, you may do so online through GROWL up until the published deadline of that session. If you need to make a change after this deadline, please submit the Summer Sessions Enrollment Adjustment Form to the Summer Sessions office. No refunds are granted after the published deadline of any session.

• Adding Courses Through GROWL

1. For the most current information choose the courses for which you wish to enroll and gather the 5 digit call numbers from our Online catalog. (Note: some courses require enrollment in a Discussion, Lab, and/or additional lecture-LCA, besides the Lecture)
2. To add courses, go to GROWL, follow steps 1 to 6, then make sure ADD is selected, enter the call numbers for all courses you wish to enroll.
3. Click OK once you have selected all your desired courses.
4. Continue with steps 8-10 to exit the enrollment session.

There may be error notes that appear in red. The system will not allow enrollment into a course in which a prerequisite has not been met or in which a co-requisite is required (Eg: a Discussion, Workshop, Lab, Seminar, etc.). You will need to contact the departments directly if you receive the following error messages:

• Dropping Courses Through GROWL

1. If you wish to drop a course, select "DROP" from the action menu for that class. You must also drop associated laboratory or discussion sections when you drop a lecture section. Press "OK". Course status will show Dropped.
2. Exit the enrollment session following steps 8-10.

• Changing Only a Discussion or Laboratory

To change a discussion or laboratory section of a course, select "change sec" from the action menu. Press "OK." You will be presented with a list of open sections. On that list, you may choose to select one of the sections or keep the section in which you are already enrolled. Press "OK."  It is important that you use this method to avoid a $50 late fee. (After June 10th the late fee will be assessed when you use the 'add' option to add any course.)

• Wait-listing Courses

1. If a department offers a wait-list and the course is full, you will be asked if you want to be added to the wait-list. Choose "wait-list" from the menu selection for that course, and you will be added to the list if you meet the course prerequisites. If space becomes available, you will be automatically enrolled in the course and an e-mail notification will be sent to your UCR Webmail account. You are responsible to pay the fees before the due date to prevent being lapsed from the course. When the wait-list periods ends, students who were not added to the course will be notified via UCR Webmail that the course is full and the wait-list is no longer available.
2. If you are enrolled in a laboratory or discussion section you may wait-list for one other section that is full. After you have completed your enrollment in the first section, return to the enrollment menu and enter the call number for the section you want to wait-list, choose "wait-list" from the action menu, and submit your request. Your course confirmation will reflect enrollment in the first section and wait-list status in the second.
3. If you change your mind about a wait-listed section, you must drop yourself from the list for that section. Otherwise, you will be placed in the section if space becomes available.

Satisfactory/No Credit Option and Changing the Grading Method

• The Satisfactory/No Credit (S/NC) option will not be available online. If you wish to take the course(s) you have chosen by S/NC, you must obtain your advisor's signature on a Summer Sessions Enrollment Adjustment form, which you will then submit to the Summer Sessions Office.
• Visiting students should submit the Enrollment Adjustment Form directly to the Summer Sessions Office for approval.

Security

• GROWL includes security elements to safeguard your personal information. However, you should also take certain precautions to make sure no one else can access your records.
• Keep your PERMPIN confidential. The PERMPIN is required to access your records.
• Set the cache (data that a Web browser records on a computer's hard disk to speed its display of information) of your Web browser to zero, so your information is not retained in the computer's memory, where it could be viewed by another user. Check your browser's preferences for information on how to set the cache to zero.
• If you did not set your cache to zero, be sure to clear (empty) the cache before you exit GROWL . Check your browser's preferences for information on how to clear the cache.
• Never leave your computer unattended while you are logged in. Someone could access your records while you are away from the computer. The system will automatically disconnect if there is no activity for 10 minutes.
• Always remember to exit the system when you are done by clicking on "Exit." and closing the browser.
