Adding, Dropping and Changing Courses

        If you wish to add or drop a course, you may do so online through GROWL  up until the Friday of the first week of the session. If you need to make a change after the first week, please submit the appropriate add/drop form (PDF) to the Summer Sessions office located at 1200 University Avenue, Riverside, CA 92506. No refunds are granted after the first week of any session.

• Adding Courses Through GROWL

1. Choose the courses for which you wish to enroll from our printed catalog or from our Online catalog. Locate the 5 digit CALL#'s and complete the enrollment worksheet (Note: some courses require enrollment in a DIScussion, LAB and/or LCA together with the LECture).
2. To add courses, go to GROWL, follow steps 1 to 6, then make sure ADD is selected, enter course call number for all courses you wish to enroll.
3. Select OK once you have selected all your desired courses.
4. Exit the enrollment session.

        Pay attention to notes that appear in red. This warns you that there is an error. 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.

• 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.

• 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 13th the late fee will be assessed when you drop the course completely and then 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 waitlist 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 waitlist, choose "waitlist" from the action menu, and submit your request. Your course confirmation will reflect enrollment in the first section and waitlist status in the second.
3. If you change your mind about a waitlisted section, you must drop yourself from the list for that section. Otherwise, you will be placed in the waitlisted section if space is available.

Withdrawing

        If you are enrolled in one or more courses and wish to drop ALL courses after instruction has begun, you are considered to be withdrawing from the University. Courses dropped after the drop deadline will appear as a "W" on your records. Please fill out the appropriate Withdrawal form. If you are dropping only one or more courses but will still have other remaining courses, please use the appropriate add/drop (PDF) form.

        To change grading method, please have your college office approve the change on the appropriate add/drop form (PDF) and return to the Summer Sessions Office.

Satisfactory/No Credit Option and Changing the Grading Method

        The Satisfactory/No Credit (S/NC) option will not be available during online registration. 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 add/drop form, which you will then submit to the Summer Sessions Office.

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 automatically disconnects if there is no activity for 10 minutes.
• Remember to exit the system when you are done by clicking on "Exit."
