Please see the Student Handbook on the AUNE website for details.
Waivers do not relieve you of the obligation of dropping a course for which you have registered. You must meet the official drop deadline (please see the drop deadlines listed on the academic calendar and/or the online Student Handbook posted on the AUNE website) to have the waived course dropped from your schedule.
