How to Drop Classes
There are two different systems for dropping classes in CyberBear, depending on the time of the semester in autumn and spring.
These timelines differ during the summer as well as during shortened parts of term within the autumn and spring semesters. See the registration deadlines page to determine the exact dates for when to use each.
To drop your last remaining or only class, submit a Semester Withdrawal Form instead.
Through the 15th class day:
Registration and Edit Your Class Schedule: During autumn and spring semesters, Registration and Edit Your Class Schedule is open through the 15th class day of the semester.
After the 15th class day — final deadline:
Course Add/Change/Drop: After the 15th class day, all requests to drop classes must be submitted for approval through Course Add/Change/Drop instead.
Registration and Edit Your Class Schedule

Step Two - View Summary
Locate the class under the Summary section.
Step Three - Select Drop/Delete
Click the Action dropdown and select Drop/Delete.
Disclaimer: If there are no options in the dropdown, this means the class is a shortened part-of-term section, and it is past the drop deadline. Email registration@umontana.edu for assistance with initiating a late drop request.
Step Four - Submit Changes
Click the Submit button to enter your changes. If you do not click Submit, your changes will not be entered.
Step Five - Check Errors
After submitting, if you receive a "CyberBear cannot drop last class" error, this means you will need to submit a Semester Withdrawal Form because dropping to zero credits is considered a withdrawal.
If you receive a "Minimum Credits" error, you will need to contact your athletic advisor to receive permission to drop below your minimum credit hour requirement.
