• Click the Drop Requests link on the left side of the page

• Click Request New Drop. A window will pop up with fields for you to fill out.
• The Course field will show courses in which the student is enrolled. Choose the course from the pull-down menu.
• Choose a reason for the drop in the Reason field.
• The status field will automatically be set to APPROVED.

• Click the Save button.
• You will see the drop request listed.

Approve or Deny an Existing Drop Request

If your student has already submitted a drop request, you can approve or deny the request either from the student's page or from the Drop Request view under the Enrollments tab.

From the Student's Page

• In the pop-up window, change the status drop down to APPROVED to drop the student from the course. Change the status to DENIED to leave the student in the course.
• Click the Save button.
• The drop request's WAITING_REVIEW status will be updated to reflect your change.
