Late Add

A late add may be pursued only if a student was unable to add a course by the add/drop deadline due to extraordinary circumstances. A student must obtain a letter of support from the instructor to submit with the petition. If the petition for a late add is approved, the student must be prepared to pay the tuition fees at the time of approval. Talk to your professor before pursuing a late Add petition. Your professor must be informed of your intent to change the registration status of your class(es).

Procedure

• Undergraduate students who wish to file petitions should go to Academic Services in Millican Hall 210. Graduate students should go to Office of Graduate Studies in Millican Hall 230.

• Talk to/email/call an advisor in Academic Services to discuss how to file a petition and as to whether or not it is an appropriate request, and how to pick up the petition form.

• Read the attached definitions on the petition form explaining administrative record changes.

• Obtain a copy of your registration schedule from the Registrar's Office -- NOT a fee invoice.

• If you have any type of financial assistance from the Office of Financial Assistance, you must have them sign off on the petition form before you turn it in.

• If you are an international student with F1/J1 visa, you must have the Office of International Student and Scholar Services sign off on the petition form before you turn it in.

• You must write a statement of explanation to attach to the petition form. The statement must explain why you are requesting a late add. Include dates, details, and any documentation that supports your explanation.

• You must have a permission letter or letter of support from the instructor of the course you wish to add. The letter should be on a UCF department letterhead with your name and PID, the correct class, section number, credits and instructor's name and original signature. The letter must also be dated within seven (7) business days of filing the late add petition.

• All copies of the petition forms must be legible and with complete information. Any documentation not in the English language must be translated by proper authority before submitting with the petition forms.
