Academic Resources & Forms

Reminders

Friday, May 1, 2020, is the last day (for a full semester course) to:

• use the free-drop option

Note:  You can request to use your free drop via email without a form. You only need the approval of your major adviser (if you have 2 majors then from both advisers) and the approval of your class dean.  Instructor permission is not required.  

Here is what you need to do:

1. Send an email to your adviser/s and copy the class deans office on the email (classdeans@smith.edu)

2. Include your name, class year, and the words "Free Drop" in the subject line

3. In the body of the email, state the course you would like to drop (for example MTH 100, Algebra) and the name the instructor

4. Ask your adviser/s to "reply all" back to the email so that we get a copy of their response (its up to you to followup with your adviser/s)

Once we receive a response from your adviser/s we will then forward it to your class dean for review and if approved, will forward it to the Registrar's Office for processing.
