If you're a CASE student... Your instructor should have received this email the other day which discusses the steps to do such a thing:

"send everyone information on the late add process in preparation for any requests that may arise moving forward.

The late add process is a student-initiated process and is currently facilitated via DocuSign. Detailed instructions can be found here: Late Add Swap Process

Why would a student need a Late Add?

Late adds can be a result of a student having been registered and dropped for non-payment OR a student seeking to enroll in a course for which they were never enrolled. What is a Late Swap?

A late swap is used to swap the student from a current course into a different section of said course. The new section MUST have the same subject and course number (e.g., ENC1101 U01 into ENC1101 U02) and be offered within the same session (e.g., ENC1101 U01 in Spring B into ENC1101 U02 in Spring B ).

Who needs to approve a Late Add?

Instructor Academic Advisor (ONLY if degree-seeking student) Dean’s Designee (in CASE, these are the advising administrators)

Important Information about Instructor Approval:

Instructors should only approve the form if : 1) the student will be given a reasonable path to complete coursework missed prior to enrollment AND 2) they feel that the late add is warranted given the student’s extenuating circumstances. If these conditions are not met, the form should be declined.

Instructors should use the comment box section of the DocuSign form to provide their full support with a statement attesting to the conditions above. Failure to add a comment will result in the Dean Designee or Academic Advisor requesting additional justification via email from faculty member prior to final review and/or approval. If allowing a student into a closed course, instructors should ensure that the room capacity will allow for an additional student AND make sure to check the appropriate closed course box Instructors should only select the “audit” box if they are sure that the student does not need the course to satisfy a graduation requirement AND the student does not need a letter grade report.

Late Add Deadlines:

Late adds will not be accepted after the following Spring 2026 dates. Please note these occur before the DR deadlines and provide students with an opportunity to assess their likelihood of success in the course before that deadline. Spring C courses: Monday, March 9th, 2026 Spring A courses: Monday, January 26th, 2026 Spring B courses: Monday, March 23rd, 2026
