How are they different:

• The deadline to drop a class is earlier than the deadline to withdraw from a class.
  • Refer to the academic calendar for the drop and withdrawal deadlines for a given term.
• A course that is dropped will not appear on your academic transcript.
• A course that is withdrawn will appear on your academic transcript with a mark of ‘W’ (withdrawn).
  • A ‘W’ grade will not harm your GPA, it simply indicates that you were enrolled beyond the drop deadline.
• Withdrawals begin after the last day to receive any type of refund for a class.

How are they the same:

• In both cases, you are no longer academically responsible for a class if you have dropped or withdrawn from it.
• You drop or withdraw from a course online using WolfWeb.
• Registration holds prevent you from dropping/withdrawing from classes online.
  • Email registrar@wou.edu for assistance dropping/withdrawing from a class(es) if you have a registration hold, the email must be sent before the deadline has passed.

Refer to the academic calendar for the drop and withdrawal deadlines for a given term. If you have registration holds preventing you from dropping/withdrawing classes online email registrar@wou.edu for assistance, the email must be sent before the deadline has passed.

To drop/withdraw online:

1. Open Wolf Web from your student Portal.
2. Open the Student menu.
3. Open the Registration & Schedule menu.
4. Open Register for Classes.
5. Use the drop-down box to select Web Drop or Web Withdrawal for the class(es) you wish to drop/withdraw from.
6. Click Submit Changes
7. The registration screen will reload.
8. Verify that the status of the class(es) is now Web Drop or Web Course Withdrawal

• Email the instructor if you are experiencing a prerequisite, instructor approval, class, major, and/or time conflict error.
• If appropriate the instructor will enter an override in Wolf Web.
• You MUST register for the class in WolfWeb, using the direct registration instructions above, to complete the process.
• Having an override does NOT equal being registered.

What you need to know!

A closed class with an active wait-list is not eligible for a capacity override (aka an override that allows you to register for a closed class). Once wait-listing has ended instructors can provide capacity overrides.

For example, if you were to receive a prerequisite override for a closed class you would wait-list the class. If you did not get the opportunity to enroll from the wait-list into the class you could, after wait-listing concludes, ask the instructor for permission to register for the closed class. If it is appropriate the instructor would provide a capacity override in addition to the existing prerequisite override. Don’t forget, having an override does NOT equal being enrolled. Login to Wolf Web and register for the class!

You need the class reference number (aka CRN)!

Once wait-listing has ended instructors may issue capacity overrides to allow a student to enroll in a closed class. If your instructor provides a capacity override you will need to type the CRN of the class in the boxes at the bottom of the Registration page in Wolf Web.

The best way to find the CRN, if you don’t already know it, is in Wolf Web using the Check Your Registration Time & Status menu item to view your override(s) which include the CRN of the class. Once you have the CRN open the Register for Classes menu, type the CRN into the box at the bottom of the page, and submit changes. Verify you successfully enrolled by confirming that the class is added to your list of enrolled classes with a status of “web registered”.

Great news, you can view your overrides in Wolf Web!

You can view registration overrides that have been granted to you in Wolf Web using the Check Your Registration Time & When you select a term and open this menu if you have had any overrides issued you will see them near the top of the page in the section titled ‘Registration Permits and Overrides’.

This is particularly helpful when checking to see if an override you discussed with an instructor has been added to your record. Additionally, if you received an override but are still unable to register check here to compare the overrides you have with the error you are receiving. You may need to reach out to your instructor to help resolve the remaining issue(s).

Do not forget that during the wait-listing period capacity overrides are not available for closed classes. If the class is closed and wait-listing is ongoing you should wait-list yourself for the class. If you do not get in the class during the wait-listing period you can follow up with the instructor after wait-listing ends to determine if a capacity override is possible. Don’t forget, having an override does NOT equal being enrolled. Login to Wolf Web and register for the class!

Instructor approval required!

Due to the accelerated pace of a quarter system, it is critical that students attend class and engage in class material from the beginning of the term. Although the university’s deadline for enrolling in a class is Friday of week two the expectation is that students register and engage in the class from the start of the term.

In order to register for a class as late in the term as week two, you must receive instructor approval in the form of an override. If you receive such an override register right away.

After Friday of week two, you are not eligible to participate in or attend any class that you are not registered for. Should you attend a class after that deadline without being registered your instructor will ask you to stop.

See the Course Registration Policy for details.

• Advising Hold
  • Placed on all student accounts Fall term beginning in Week 5. Some students may have an additional advising hold in Winter or Spring.

Holds placed on MSSP students for various reasons including but not limited to:

1. Not scheduling mandatory Annual Appointments
2. Not meeting scholarship requirements: (Example – GPA, Number of credits, CCIH hours, ICS class)

The Admissions Office has not received your final transcript verifying either a date of graduation (for high school transcripts) or final grades or degrees awarded (college transcripts). WOU requires these transcripts in order to finalize your admission.

To remove the hold, please send the requested transcripts to the Admissions Office. They can be sent electronically through an official transcript service (such as Parchment) or mailed directly to the Admissions Office at 345 N Monmouth Ave, Monmouth, OR 97361.

• Waitlisting is available for certain co­urses that have reached their maximum student capacity and are closed.

  To waitlist a class:

  1. Open Wolf Web from your student Portal.
  2. Open the Student menu.
  3. Open the Registration & Schedule menu.
  4. Attempt to register for the course using either the Look-up Classes or direct registration methods in the WolfWeb section above.
  5. You will receive an error message that the course is closed.
  6. Select Waitlist from the action column.
  7. Submit Changes.
  8. The registration screen will reload.
  9. The status of the class(es) should now be Waitlist.

Priority is given to students on a waitlist on a first come first serve basis. For example, if you are the first student to waitlist the class you will be the first student to be given the opportunity to register for the class if a spot becomes available.

Once you are on the waitlist for a course you must check your WOU email at least once per day, but we recommend checking it twice daily.

If an opening in your waitlisted class becomes available, an email will be sent to your wou.edu email account.

You will have 24 hours to register for the class. The clock starts from the time the message is sent.

If you do not register for the class within 24 hours you will automatically be dropped from the waitlist, at which time the next student on the waitlist is offered that open space. 

You may waitlist the course again, but you will be added to the last student on the waitlist.

1. Open Wolf Web from your student Portal.
2. Open the Student menu.
3. Open the Registration & Schedule menu.
4. Open Register for Classes.
5. Select Web Reg from the drop-down list.
   • If the course you are registering for is a lab that has a related lecture, you will need to register for both at the same time.
     • Select Web Reg from the drop-down list for the lab.
     • Enter the CRN for the associated lecture into an empty box at the bottom of the screen.
