Faculty drop requests
Instructors may give up a student’s place in class if the student does not attend (or does not participate in on-line courses) without communicating with the instructor during the first week of courses.
Faculty that wish to report concerns about a student who has missed class, is not participating in class, or is struggling to be successful in a class, should use the academic early alert form.
To submit a faculty drop request, email the Registrar's Office with the course listing, class number, student name(s), and student’s ID(s). The message must be sent from your csumb email. Please include your name on the email as not all email messages clearly identify the sender.

Per the Enrollment and Registration policy, there are many reasons a student may be dropped from a class, including but not limited to:
- failure to meet the prerequisite requirements;
- non-attendance (or non-participation for on-line courses) during the first week of courses in a regular semester without communicating with the instructor;
- enrolling in a class for which the student already has an Incomplete (I), Report in Progress (RP), or Report Delayed (RD) grade; or,
- enrolling in a class already successfully completed with a C or better grade.
Faculty drop requests will only be accepted until the add/drop deadline of a term. Requests submitted after the add/drop deadline for a term will not be processed.
