If you intend to drop a course after this date, you should check with your academic area beforehand to check if it will affect your eligibility to graduate. Your academic area can assess you as "Not Eligible", "Approved", or as "Conditionally approved" upon you passing your currently enrolled courses. If you are assessed as "Approved" or "Conditionally Approved" we will send you an invitation in October.
