How Do I Drop a Course?

Students drop classes through WebReg on TritonLink per session. 

Please note: dropping a course is a 2-step process. A confirmation of the drop can provide proof if you later need verification.

If you are a financial aid student and you are dropping to zero units (withdrawing from the Session), you will need to complete the online withdrawal form.  *Note: Your withdrawal is applicable only to the Summer term, not the academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring). Refer to the Calendar to verify if a "W" will be posted to your record. 

All students dropping to zero units in Special Session (withdrawing from the Session) will need to complete the online withdrawal form.  *Note: Your withdrawal is applicable only to the Summer term, not academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring). You can read more about this on the Withdrawal page. 

To drop Education Studies (EDS) classes in Special Session,  please drop your class on WebReg first.  If WebReg does not allow for the drop, then submit the drop request on EASy for the Registrar Office to process. If the EDS class is your only class in Special Session, please complete the online withdrawal form. You can read more about this on the Withdrawal page. View the Calendar to see deadlines for dropping without a "W" posted to your record. 

The online withdrawal form can take up to 10 business days for the Registrar's Office to process. However, the drop is dated on the date you submit your form. Once submitted, a confirmation message will appear on screen. One withdrawal form per session will drop all courses in the session. If you want to be reinstated in your courses after submitting the withdrawal form, please email the registrar's office at registrar@ucsd.edu. If a 'W' is posted to the transcript, a reinstatement cannot happen without a petition through Academic Senate. For questions on the process, please contact the Registrar's Office at AcademicRecords@ucsd.edu. 

Please check the deadlines calendar to ensure you are within the timeline allowed to drop your course, to understand the timeline for a "W" posted/not posted to your record, and to verify all dates and deadlines for your session.
