Can someone tell me if this is the norm now? I was in school in the early 90s, and people only dropped if it was an emergency. And from what I remember, dropping after the deadline required a signature from the professor and your academic advisor, along with a legitimate excuse (to them, at least) as to why you were dropping.

When I was in grad school I would always register for an extra course and then decide during add/drop period which ones I liked best. I never did it with required courses, though, because that would be stupid. If I liked them all I would bust my butt and take all of them.
I don't think this is the same situation, though.
