Can't Drop Classes Online?

Technical Issues

All students are to drop their own classes online through their eWeber portal. However, if you experience any technical difficulties or are unable to drop your classes online, send an email from your Weber email account to registration@weber.edu with your name, W#, course CRN (Course Reference Number) & drop request.

We will always honor the date your email was sent. So if it's after hours, send an email. We will drop your class(es) as of the date your email was sent.

Remember all email requests need to come from your Weber email account. It is the only account we are authorized to communicate/accept requests through when regarding your academic account.

Holds

If you have holds that are preventing you from dropping your classes online through your eWeber portal, contact the department/office that placed the hold on your account to resolve the hold. Once the hold is removed, you will be able to drop your classes online.

If the hold cannot be removed or you cannot reach the department/office who placed the hold to remove it, simply send an email from your Weber email account to registration@weber.edu with your name, W#, CRN(s) (Course Reference Number), your request to drop & we will assist you in dropping your classes.

To maintain their visa eligibility, all undergraduate international students must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours with 9 credit hours of Face to Face (FTF) and/or Hybrid (HYB-WSU)---(NOT Hybrid virtual), unless you have prior approval to enroll in less hours. Graduate Students must be enrolled in 9 credit hours with 6 credit hours of Face to Face (FTF) and/or Hybrid (HYB-WSU)---(NOT Hybrid virtual). Only the International Student and Scholar Advisors can approve you to enroll in less credit hours. See the International Student and Scholar Center for more information.

Student athletes must maintain specific academic standards for NCAA eligibility, including minimum enrollment, minimum GPA, and satisfactory academic progress. Selecting CR/NC or W grades may hurt your academic eligibility. See your athletics advisor for more information.

Dropping classes or changing to an NC or W grade will change your rate of pursuit and may create a debt with the VA for tuition, monthly housing allowance (MHA), and book stipend. See the Military-Affiliated Student Center for more information.
