How to Add Classes
In your MyUTK account under Academic Resources, select Add/Drop Classes. We recommend working with your academic advisor to make sure the courses you register for count toward Course Program of Study eligibility, so you can receive your full financial aid.
If a Class is Closed or Full
There are a few tips and strategies you can try if a class you want or need is closed or full.
- Keep checking MyUTK to see if a seat opens before the class begins.
- Contact your academic advisor to discuss alternatives if you cannot get into a closed class.
- Add yourself to the waitlist for a class through the registration system. However, you can only be on the waitlist for one section of a class at a time. You cannot be on the waitlist for a different section of a class if you are already enrolled in that class.
- Attend class the first day and try to get permission from the instructor to add it.
Add a Class after the Add Deadline
Complete a Change of Registration Form, also known as an add slip. Get an add slip online or from the academic department that offers the course you want to add. When your request is approved, return the add slip to the academic department for processing.

Drop Classes
How to Drop Classes
In MyUTK under My Resources select Add/Drop Classes.
Taking Full-Semester Classes in Fall or Spring?
You can withdraw from the university for the semester through the last day of undergraduate classes for that semester. You can always find the full list of add and drop deadlines in the timetable/financial calendar.
Charges for Dropped Classes
If you decrease your hours, it may change what you owe and affect your financial aid.
Full-time undergraduate charges are based on twelve semester hours.
Full-time graduate, law, and veterinary medicine charges are based on nine semester hours.
If you go from full-time to part-time status during a semester, a percentage charge may be applied. This is based on the number of days between the first day of classes and the day you drop hours.
The UT Board of Trustees determines fees for hourly maintenance, tuition, technology, facility, transportation, library, study abroad, health, programs, and service fees. Students are charged based on the number of credit hours on their student record for the term when statements are created. NOTE: Once classes have begun for the semester, the only way to drop your entire class schedule would be to officially withdraw from the university.
