  • Prerequisite Drop Date UI Coursework: May 18, 2023

  • Summer 2023 subsession and off-cycle course prerequisite checking:
    • 4-week and 6-week I: prerequisites not enforced
    • 12-week, 8-week, and 6-week II: students not meeting the prerequisite are notified a week prior to the drop date so they still have time to submit proof and prevent getting dropped from the course.
  • Student dropped for lack of prerequisite:
    • 12-week: Dropped after the final spring grade run if they have UI-In Progress prerequisite permission; for all other students it's the standard three days before the session begins
    • 8-week and 6-week II: Dropped three days before the session begins
    • Off-cycle: Dropped three days prior to the begin date of the course
