Swapping Classes

Swapping classes allows you to exchange one class for another. When swapping classes, your class is not dropped until the selected class is added successfully. If the enrollment fails (for example you don't meet the pre-requisites), you stay enrolled in the class you wanted to drop. If the enrollment succeeds, you are dropped from the one class and enrolled into the new one.
