Late Registration: All students must be registered prior to the second class meeting and in no case may they register after the third class meeting. Any student who wishes to register after the second class must seek the instructor's written permisison and forward it with his or her registration request to summerschool@fordham.edu.
Dropping or Withdrawing from Courses: Fordham students should drop classes by the add/drop deadline articulated on the Calendar via my.fordham.edu and are responsible for verifying their registration activities.

Students who need additional help may contact the Office of Summer Session at 718-817-4665.
The effective date for any course change is the date a drop/withdrawal occurs via my.fordham.edu (available to Fordham students only) or the date upon which the Summer Session Office receives a written form of notification of the course change request.
Any requests received after the add/drop deadline will be processed as a withdrawal, and a "W," which does not affect GPA, will appear on the student's transcript. The last day to withdraw without incurring a "WF," which counts as a failing grade and does affect the student's GPA is also listed on the Calendar.

Visitors who register for 6 or more credits in a session will be asked to provide proof of immunization in compliance with New York State Public Health Law2165.
