Academic Calendar and Important Dates
Staying informed about important academic dates and deadlines is crucial for academic success.
Schedule Adjustments
Schedule adjustment for returning students may be done through the myShip Experience portal, which may be reached from off-campus using any web browser. To schedule courses which are restricted or closed, students must contact the appropriate department office for an override. Entering freshmen will not be permitted to schedule adjust.
Dropping and Adding Courses
The last day to drop and add classes for ALL students in Part of Term 1 should be carefully noted. Even if you do not attend the first class, you are still responsible for dropping the course during schedule adjustment. Otherwise, you may remain scheduled for the course and receive a grade of "F" for nonattendance.
Course Withdrawal
Withdrawal from courses with "W" grade begins for ALL students online for Part of Term 1. The final day for withdrawal from classes with "W" grade for Part of Term 1 (Full Term) should be marked on your calendar. The deadline to withdraw without academic penalty (with grades of "W") is Monday, November 2, 2026, for Part of Term 1. To withdraw completely from the University, you must notify your academic dean's office. If you stop attending class but do not withdraw, you will remain registered for the course and will receive a grade of “F” for the course. You will not receive refunds or adjustments to your account if you do not officially notify the University of your withdrawal, according to the refund policy mandated by the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education.
