The Board of Governors has formally rescinded the restrictive amendment to our drop and add policy. This reversal preserves the academic flexibility that is essential for students across the UNC system. Thank you for maintaining your focus on this issue until the administration provided a favorable resolution.

A one-size-fits-all solution to a non-existent problem on UNC-Chapel Hill's campus threatens to take away a critical safety net. Expanded in 2004, Chapel Hill's Drop/Add policy has allowed students to explore more rigorous schedules and take risks with challenging courses without the fear of potentially sabotaging their own transcripts.
This sweeping change will impact not only Chapel Hill, but each university within the UNC system. It is important that the UNC Board of Governors is aware of students' disapproval of this policy. For more information on this issue visit the links provided.

The Board of Governors has yet to acknowledge our concerns regarding the truncated drop period. I am currently preparing a formal letter to submit these signatures to the administration to ensure our objections are officially noted.

so annoyed by this news. please keep the 8 week drop period.
Ridiculous. Let the schools decide what works for their own students instead of forcing this on everyone.
Total incompetence by the board. They have no idea how things actually work for people on campus.
10 days is way too short. sometimes you dont even get your first round of grades back by then. this is gonna hurt our gpa for no reason.
this is going to cause so much stress for everyone. stop messing with policies that arent even broken.

UNC has always been about academic exploration. punishing students for trying to push themselves in hard classes is a massive mistake.
