HOW TO DROP A CLASS

Before dropping any class, see your Athletics Academic Advisor to ensure that you're aware of how it will affect your eligibility and degree progress. To drop a class, login to your MyCSUEB, enter the Student Center, and click Drop. Then follow the instructions located in the portal. Be sure to notify your instructor and your coach(es) that you have dropped the class. Remember, dropping below 12 hours in a quarter will make you ineligible. 

THINK BEFORE YOU DROP
Do not stop attending a class or drop a class until you have the full picture. Dropping a class can be a short-term solution that may create a long-term problem. Make sure you understand the consequences to your academic progress and athletic eligibility. Before dropping a class, answer these questions: 
 
  • Is this class a prerequisite for another class that I need to take?
  • If I drop this class, can I declare the major that I want?
  • How will dropping this class affect my summer plans?
  • How will dropping this class affect my athletic eligibility?
  • How will dropping this class affect my degree progress as defined by both Cal State East Bay and the NCAA?
  • How will dropping this class affect my health insurance? My taxes? My residency status? My academic scholarship?

If you can’t answer these questions, schedule a visit with your academic advisor  before you take any action. If you must drop a class, make sure you drop the right class. Generally, it's not wise to drop or stop attending any of your classes until after you have received at least one significant grade, which will aloow you to make a genuinely informed decision with your long-term academic interests in mind.
