Summer 2023 Session Reminders
As we make the transition to summer session 2023 this week, here are some important reminders, dates and deadlines.
Add/Drop Deadline: The deadlines for dropping a course(s) without financial penalty and/or adding a course(s) are shown on the table below.
Class Permissions: After the add/drop deadline, a student can no longer add courses via eServices. Students who want to register for a course after the semester’s free add/drop period will need to contact the instructor via email. The email needs to include student name, student id, semester, course subject/number, course id and # of credits (if variable credit course). If the instructor grants approval, they will reply to student’s email and copy in Registrar’s Office to process the registration.
Withdrawal Deadline: Students may continue to drop classes after the add/drop deadline for their session, but will receive a ‘W’ on their academic record and will remain financially responsible for tuition and fees. Withdrawal deadlines are shown on the table below.

Grading:
- The grading period starts five days before the end date of the session, and ends 48 hours after the end date of the session. Faculty cannot post final grades until grading opens for the specific session.
- Faculty have to indicate for each student if they attended the whole session, partial session, or never attended. If the student never attended the class, they will receive a grade of “FN”. If the student attends class but then stops attending (this includes even attending just one class) they would receive a grade of “F”.
This is important as the two grades have significant and different consequences for financial aid, academic & financial appeals, and probations and suspensions.
- The option of entering an Incomplete grade of “I” is not available to faculty online. Faculty are asked to assign the grade they believe the student has earned and then complete the Incomplete Grade form with the student. The completion/submission of the Incomplete Grade form to the Registrar’s Office will facilitate a change of the entered grade to an “I”. The grade change form should be used by faculty to update the “I” grade after the student has completed the necessary work or the “I” will automatically change to an “F” by the finish of the next semester. The incomplete form can be found here.
- Changes and/or corrections to grades that have been posted must be submitted through eServices via the grade change process.
Questions can be directed to the Registrar’s Office at registrar@mnstate.edu.
