    You have until the last day of classes to drop courses or to fully withdraw from the current semester. Please see the schedule of dates. We suggest you drop your courses from webadvisor, log off and then back on to confirm the courses are no longer on webadvisor. Please note it takes a couple of days for Courselink to update.
