Courses cannot be dropped via the usual registration process on SAS once the mid-semester examination period has started, which marks the deadline by which courses can be dropped from your registration. To make requests for consideration to drop a course after the deadline to drop courses has passed, use the Automated Student Request System (ASRS) which can be accessed via Student Administration System (SAS) and follow the steps below.
  
Step by Step Guide to REQUEST TO DROP A COURSE on ASRS

1. Log in to SAS.
2. Click on ‘Student Services’.
3. Click on ‘Automated Student Request System’.
4. Select ‘Late Adjustment to Registration’.
5. Select the correct semester from the drop-down menu.
6. Click ‘Web Drop’ beside the course you wish to drop.
7. Enter your reason for dropping the course, and add supporting documents, where applicable.
8. Submit your request, and follow up with your Faculty Office for Faculty approval.

Academic Board will make the final decision to complete the processing of your request, and this function is carried out by the Office of the Deputy Principal.

Step by Step Guide to CHECK THE STATUS OF YOUR ASRS REQUESTS

1. Log in to SAS.
2. Click on ‘Student Services’.
3. Select ‘Automated Student Request System’.
4. Click on ‘View Request(s)’ to see your request status.

The deadline for Leave of Absence (LOA) as well as Voluntary Withdrawal (VW) is the same as the deadline for dropping courses. This deadline is usually just before the start of the mid-semester examination period for the semester. If the deadline for LOA has passed then Late Leave of Absence (LLOA) may be requested and can be approved in exceptional circumstances.
