Spring 2027 final exams are scheduled Monday, May 3-Friday, May 7.

Adjusting your course schedule

You can make changes to your schedule up until the last day to drop for the semester. Before you do, we strongly recommend talking with your academic advisor to make sure it’s the right move for you.

Also, be sure to check out the drop grade policy and the specific deadlines based on when your class starts and ends.

Access to add or drop courses via Registration Self Service. To withdraw (drop all classes and leave SDSU temporarily or permanently), call the Register's Office at 605-688-6195 or email the petitions withdrawal registrar.

Course Drops and Withdrawals

Review the course drops and withdrawals information to understand how schedule adjustments will be reflected on your transcript.
