DROPPING A SUMMER QUARTER CLASS
International students wanting to drop a summer quarter course at this stage in the quarter must complete the online Advisor Assisted Drop form. Once this form is submitted to the Registrar's Office, the ISS will receive an email. Once an ISS advisor reviews and processes the request, we will notify the Registrar's Office whether you are eligible to drop the course. Go to the Current Quarter Drop page and submit the Advisor Assisted Drop request online if you want to drop a summer quarter class.

Be Aware of SCAMS
The ISS continues to hear from students who have been targeted by scams. The U.S. government, foreign governments, and other organizations related to your immigration status will NEVER demand money or information and WILL NOT ask for private, secure information over the phone or email. This is a SCAM.
|
- HANG UP; stop talking with the person asking you for money
- DO NOT SEND MONEY or gift card information to strangers
- DO NOT give them private data like your passport number, account info, parent's info, etc.
- TELL someone you trust
- REPORT it to the UW Police
- ALERT your Consulate or Embassy and your family
