line. All such drops are subject to the following restrictions: *No more than two (2) drops, after the Uni- versity's drop/add period, will be permitted to students with classifications of 3 and 4. *After the deadline students may petition to drop a course provided they can document suf- ficient reasons to drop, usually hardship or medical occurring after the deadline. *Final approval to drop a course after the university's drop/add period must be obtained from the Academic Advisement Center, 358 Lit- tle Hall. Students must attend all classes for which they are registered.

It is subject to the published catalog dead- lines. Petitions: Any student who feels that the college regulations work a particular hardship or injustice may petition for waiver of the regu- lation involved.
