Drop a Course

You can drop a student only from a course that the student is currently attending. If the course that you are dropping is a required course, it will be added to the student's schedule with a future status.

If you have the necessary permissions, you can drop a course even if it fulfills a prerequisite or is a corequisite to another course. However, the student will be unregistered or dropped from the associated courses as well.
