How to Set Drop Dates on an Academic Term

Drop dates must be defined at the term level to establish the time window when students can drop courses:

1. Navigate to the Admin tab
2. Select Academic Terms from the menu
3. Click on the term name you want to configure
4. In the term editing screen, locate the Custom Date Fields section
5. Enter "DROP" as the custom field name
6. Select the DROP START and DROP END dates for the term
7. Click UPDATE to save the changes

The DROP START date is when students can begin dropping courses, and the DROP END date is the last day students can drop courses for that term.
