Review the Course Schedule

Search the Dynamic Schedule in Banner Self-Service, selecting the ‘Interim 2026’ term, or browse the formatted schedule grid. Course offering details are subject to change, so be sure to confirm up-to-date information through Banner Self-Service.

Common Course of Study

Specific course attributes used to complete Common Course of Study (CCS) requirements are listed in the course & hours schedule, can be searched through the dynamic schedule, reviewed in the course catalog at the end of the course description, or by linking through an unmet CCS requirement in your DegreeWorks audit. 

During the interim 2026 semester, courses may carry old CCS attributes, new CCS attributes, a mix, or none. Students in the Classes of 2026, 2027, and 2028 are only eligible to receive credit for the old CCS attributes while students in the Class of 2029 are only eligible to receive credit for new attributes. Not all courses have CCS attributes, and CCS attributes are not eligible for petition, substitution, or waiver.

Course Load

Students may register for one (1) course only.

Course Drops

If a student wishes to drop a course after registering in Banner Self-Service, an email request must be sent to registrar@lafayette.edu.

The deadline to drop a course is Tuesday, January 7, 5:00 pm.

Course Withdrawals

If it becomes necessary to withdraw from a course, a formal withdrawal must be completed via the Course Withdrawal Request form. 

Merely ceasing to attend, even if notice is given to the instructor, does not constitute an official withdrawal.  Students who do not follow the established procedures for withdrawing from a course will be charged for the course and receive a grade of “F”.

Students who withdraw will have a “WD” recorded on their transcript.

The deadline to withdraw from a course is Friday, January 10, 5:00 pm.
