Late Schedule Adjustments

Every effort should be made to adjust your schedule prior to the last day to add or drop, which is listed in the Summer Sessions calendar. In the unlikely event you need to make adjustments to your schedule (i.e., to drop, add, or do a section switch) after the last day to add or drop for each session, but before the final is given, special permission is required and is not guaranteed.

  • To add a course: request a Permission to Add (PTA) number from the department that is offering the course. Access SISWeb and add the course within 72 hours of obtaining the PTA. Your account will be billed $3 for a late adjustment fee.
  • To drop a course: go to your college dean’s office and provide documentation to support your reason for the late drop (academic reasons are not acceptable). If your request is approved, a Permission to Drop (PTD) will be provided. Access SISWeb and drop the course within 72 hours of obtaining the PTD. Your account will be billed $3 for a late adjustment fee.

Once the course final has been given, all adjustments are considered to be retroactive changes and require documentation of exceptional circumstances. Please consult the UC Davis General Catalog for information on retroactive changes. Additional information can be obtained from the Office of the University Registrar, 12 Mrak Hall.
