STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO FILE AN OFFICIAL DROP CARD WITH THE REGISTRAR WILL RECEIVE A GRADE OF "NR" IN THE COURSE. AN "NR" TURNS TO AN "F" OR "NP" AFTER ONE QUARTER OF ATTENDANCE.

USING THE WAITLIST SYSTEM: The waitlist system for all Physics courses will be activated through the enrollment deadline - Friday, October 10 (end of Week 2). Placement on the waitlist does not guarantee enrollment in the class.
