Add/Drop
Please check the Academic Calendar for the official add/drop deadline. All add/drop actions must be completed online. Courses dropped during this period are removed from your record.
Non-attendance does not drop you from a course. If you fail or withdraw from a prerequisite, you must drop any course for which you no longer meet the requirements. While the Registrar may drop you in some cases, it is your responsibility to ensure you meet all prerequisites and adjust your schedule accordingly.
If you need help reviewing your schedule or understanding the impact on your degree progress, contact your Student Success Advisor or Major Advisor.

Academic Integrity
Members of our community are expected to be honest and forthright in all their academic endeavors. Not only does this add value and credibility to a Wentworth degree, but it also establishes trust and respect as we share knowledge within and beyond our community.
Academic integrity includes:
-
Acknowledging the work of others with citations and attributions
-
Submitting work that authentically reflects your own knowledge, skills, and abilities – not someone else’s
-
Collaborating with others on work only when collaborating is an intended part of the activity
-
Respecting each other’s work, property, and possessions
Learn more about academic integrity by contacting SuccessStudio@wit.edu.
