Refunds for Drops and Withdrawals

  • Failure to submit a withdrawal form for complete withdrawal from all classes may result in fees being assessed.
  • Special course fees are nonrefundable.
  • CAUTION: Dropping and adding classes may increase your cost. Dropped courses after the 100% tuition refund periods are included in the total credits used for fee calculation. Course drops and adds after the 100% tuition refund periods do not offset each other for cost purposes; therefore, your semester cost may increase.
