At The University of Kentucky, "drop/add" was changed to "add/drop". The idea behind the name change being that you *added* a class before *dropping* one. As such, it was the norm to be signed up for a class yet miss the first one or two while you were trying to add another (different) class. So you would be on the roll but not present the first one or two classes (depending on when they met). And if you were unable to add the other class, then you kept the class (the one you missed) on your schedule. Basically, the first three days (UK starts classes on a Wednesday), attendance and assignments were minimal for many of the 101 (i.e. undergrad) type classes.
