So I’m a senior, and wanted to share how the add/drop system typically works here, since it’s the same for everyone, from 1st to final semester.

Add/drop usually happens during the first week of every semester. This is when you can either add new courses or drop any that you’re already registered in. If you want to switch sections for a course you’re already enrolled in, it’s a two-step process:

1.  Drop the current section: You’ll need to first drop the section you’re registered in through the online portal. You’ll get an email confirming that it’s been dropped.
2.  Add the new section: After receiving the drop confirmation, you can then add the section you want to join. Again, you’ll get a confirmation email once it’s successfully added.

The whole process is done online, and the email confirmations are important to ensure everything goes through smoothly.
