De La Salle University - Manila

Dropping/Withdrawal

Students are considered enrolled in their courses that appear on their Enrollment Assessment Forms (EAF) that are issued by the Office of the University Registrar.

Students who fail to drop/withdraw a course(s) are considered officially enrolled in the course(s) and are therefore, covered by all the provisions applicable to enrolled students.

For purposes of official academic records, dropped courses do not appear in the Transcript of Records and are treated as if these were not enrolled. Withdrawn courses, however, appear in the Transcript of Records as a “W.”

Procedures

Generally, dropping of courses may be done on-line through the My.LaSalle portal (link: Drop courses).

However, the following are not allowed to drop on-line:

• First-year undergraduate students
• Upperclass undergraduate students whose total number of academic units enrolled will fall below 12 units (after dropping of courses)
• Students who are dropping ROTC/CWTS/Orient courses

For these students, dropping of courses may be done through the accomplishment and submission of OUR Form No. E-02 . This form requires the approval of the Vice Dean and must be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar (Window 4 for undergraduate students or Window 8 for non-undergraduate students) within the deadline.

Withdrawal of courses, on the other hand, may be done through the accomplishment and submission of OUR Form No. E-02A This form requires the approval of the faculty and must be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar (Window 8 for non-undergraduate students) within the deadline. Course withdrawal is not available to undergraduate students, except to withdraw all enrolled courses, termed as Leave of Absence .

IMPORTANT: Students who have dropped or withdrawn a course(s) need to claim their revised Enrollment Assessment Form (EAF) to make the transaction official. The revised EAF is available at the Office of the University Registrar (Window 4 for undergraduate students or Window 8 for non-undergraduate students) two (2) working days from on-line dropping. For those with submitted forms, the revised EAF is available immediately.
