You request adding/dropping a class(es) from a previous semester. To request a retroactive add/drop, you must complete a retroactive add/drop form located at http://ies.sjsu.edu/media/pdf/retroactive-course-add.pdf  or http://ies.sjsu.edu/media/pdf/retroactive-course-drop.pdf .  Once approved, you can add/drop course(s) and receive a grade of “W” by securing the approval signature of the instructor, department chair and signature of authorized IES official.  NO REFUND IS GIVEN FOR REQUESTING A RETROACTIVE DROP. Failure to drop officially from a course taken in a previous semester generates a failing grade of “F” or “WU”.
