Add/Drop Process
Students should review course availability and prerequisite requirements in the SOM Course Catalog before completing the Add/Drop request form. Login to the Catalog for up-to-date availablity.
The submitted form will be routed to the Course Administrator for approval and the course will be added to the students MedScope schedule once received by OSA/OME. Any currently registered course for the same block will be automatically dropped.
The ACP academic year is registered from May through April. Rotations 11 (May) and 12 (June) are scheduled with the next academic year. Add/drop forms for rotation 11 and 12 will not be accepted until scheduling for these blocks has been completed.
