Waitlist and Schedule Adjustment: Graduate: Degrees & Courses: Jacobs School of Music: Indiana University Bloomington

There is a waitlist option on OneStart. If you try to add a class and get the Errors found message that says the class is full, click in the OK to Waitlist checkbox and click on SUBMIT again. You will then get an Add status of Success/Messages. Always click on that link to get more information—that way you can find out your position on the waitlist.

It is possible to do what is called a contingent drop when you put yourself on a waitlist for a class on OneStart. If there is a specific class you want to drop from your schedule if your waitlist request is fulfilled, put the class number for that class in the Drop if enrolled field (located to the right of the OK to Waitlist checkbox) when you try to put yourself on the waitlist. This is not possible with courses that have departmental waitlists (music theory, music history, and voice department courses).

When you put yourself on the waitlist for a class you are waitlisting that particular section. If the class has multiple times it meets (multiple sections) and you would like to be put into whichever section opens up first you need to put a waitlist on the class number for each meeting time.

IN THE SUMMER ONLY: For all graduate Music History and Music Theory classes (including MUS-M 539 Music Bibliography), instead of using the OneStart waitlist you will need to contact the Musicology/Music Theory Office (mustheor [at] indiana [dot] edu) to be put on the departmental waitlist for a class that is full. During the fall and spring semester, you will use the normal online waitlist for these courses, but in the summer that waitlist system is inactive and there is a departmental waitlist for music history and music theory courses.

Schedule Adjustment

You will have 48 hours after your initial registration to change your schedule on-line for free. After that time, you will have an $8.50 fee when you access the registration system until the last day of the first week of classes. Every time you access the system for a $8.50 fee you will have 24 hours after that access time to change things without an additional fee. So if you register on April 7, then log into the system at 1 pm on May 5 to change your schedule, you will be charged an $8.50 fee but will be able to log back into the system until 1 pm on May 6 for free.

You will be able to change your schedule in the OneStart registration system until the end of the first week of classes. After that the procedure will change and the fees for changing your schedule will go up. Click here to see the deadlines for registration and see below for dates related to schedule adjustment.

Late Schedule Adjustment (starting the second week of classes)

All schedule adjustments made during the Late Schedule Adjustment period must be done in person at the Student Central on Union or by useing the eDrop/eAdd system on OneStart. A paper drop/add form is required for in person schedule adjustment. Click here for the Student Central on Union's summary of late schedule adjustment options and details.

Fee: $23 per drop. No fee for adding a course.

A waiver of the late schedule change fee will be considered only when late schedule adjustment is being made as a result of a University office or official error or request.

Remember that you must maintain full-time status in order to be in good academic standing. So if you drop a course and it takes you below full-time enrollment, you will need to add something in its place.

If a graduate student drops hours after the first week of classes, the student will receive a partial refund for the dropped class(es) (for regular, full-term classes: 75% the second week, 50% the third, 25% the fourth and 0% thereafter) and will pay in full for the added class(es). The partial refund will be applied toward the fees charged for the added class(es).

However, in the 2nd week of classes if you drop one class and add one class for an equal number of credit hours the tuition from the dropped class can be transferred directly to the added class (an "even exchange of fees"). This applies only in the 2nd week of classes and with several restrictions. http://www.bursar.indiana.edu/home/index.php/policies/schedule-adjustment/#grad has details.

Withdrawal from all classes

If you want to withdraw from all classes after the semester has begun, you will need to work with either the Office of International Services (if you are an international student) or the Student Advocates Office (if you are not an international student).
