Electronic Process for Adding and Dropping Courses

Click the links below to use the electronic forms. Students need to complete the electronic form and then it is forwarded to instructor and, if approved, sent to advisor, and when approved sent to the registrar’s office for processing. This form should only be used for registration exception such as exceeding 18 credits, requesting addition to a closed course, or requesting a waiver of a pre-requisite.

This is an electronic process utilizing digital approvals, not a form to be downloaded. Students must begin the process by entering information electronically. Students will use one form to change the registration status of one course; adding or dropping multiple courses will require the use of multiple forms – one per course.

Add a Course
The Add period for Fall 2022 will end at 4:30 PM on April 29 and will re-open on Monday May 2. A computer system upgrade will take place over the weekend. This form is for undergraduate student use only and should only be used if unable to register for a class in H.I.S. Graduate students must contact the graduate services office.

Drop a Course

Tips for using add and drop forms

ARE YOU GOING OVER 18 CREDITS? If you are going over 18 credits, you must make a statement in the comment section of how many credits for your advisor to see. Then your advisor must make a statement in the comment section saying they approve the overage and the credit amount approved (ie. 19, 20, 21, 22).

Other Academic Forms

The registrar’s office is remaining paperless. We will process forms submitted through Qualtrics or submitted electronically to registrar@hollins.edu.

Before attempting to complete a form, you should download it to your device. You may be unable to complete the form while it is open in your browser. If you use Adobe Fill & Sign and go all the way through the process, it will lock the document to prevent future editing and thus prevent the addition of more signatures. Instead, please fill out the form, use fill and sign to put your signature on the PDF, but then close Fill & Sign and save the PDF normally WITHOUT completing the sign process, and then send the document.

Students must complete their portions of the forms and send them to the appropriate faculty members for signatures. The faculty members should forward the forms to registrar@hollins.edu.

Electronic (Qualtrics) forms are available for some forms.
