If I am taking more than the core electives credits for that term, can I drop the extra credit(s) and, if so, what is the last date by which I can drop?

Maybe. While dropping a course is not recommended, if you find that the additional elective credit is too much for your schedule, you can petition to drop your course. However, you must contact Kirk Nuss at kenuss@ncsu.edu and Academic Affairs prior to end of the second full week of classes. In reviewing the request, considerations will be made if one of your courses was added after initial registration.

Courses with limited enrollment cannot be dropped.
