Free Add/Drop Deadline Spring 2026
The deadline for dropping a course(s) without financial penalty and/or adding a course(s) for spring 2026 is Friday, Jan. 16, at 4 p.m. No entry will be made in a student’s record if a course is dropped before this date/time.
Students may continue to drop classes online after Friday, but will receive a ‘W’ on their academic record and will remain financially responsible for tuition and fees. The withdrawal deadline for full term courses for spring 2026 is April 14th.
After the Jan. 16 deadline, a student can no longer add courses via eServices. The process to add a course after the deadline is the following:
-
The student will need to contact the instructor via email. The email needs to include the student’s name, student id, semester, course subject and number, course id, and # of credits (if variable credit course).
If the instructor grants the approval, they will reply to the student’s email and copy in the Registrar’s Office (registrar@mnstate.edu).
The Registrar’s Office will process the registration and email both the student and instructor to confirm.
