Item to Note:
Employees must submit an Application for Educational Benefits Form each summer to receive their educational benefit. More information can be found on the Human Resources website.
How do I make changes to my summer schedule?
You can add courses through insideND through the posted Add Deadlines and you can drop courses through insideND through the posted Drop Deadlines (for a full refund). Add and drop dates are posted at Registration Dates and Deadlines. Please keep in mind, the system does not allow you to drop all of the classes on your schedule; therefore, if you have one remaining on your schdule which you need to drop, you must send a request to drop to sumsess.1@nd.edu.
Changes to your schdule after the add and drop deadlines must be made on an Academic Course Change form; which can be obtained at the department offering the course or the dean's office.
Item to Note:
Because the system does not allow you to drop your last class. Try adding the course you want to take before you drop the one you don't want to take. If that doesn't work because of a time-conflict, you can try adding a different course and adding and dropping until you get the course you want to take. To make it easier, you can email novo@nd.edu or call the Office of the Registrar at (574) 631-7043. You can also stop by our office at 300 Grace Hall.
