Refunds


When a student withdraws from a class, the course length and effective date of withdrawal determine whether or not the student receives any refund of tuition, mandatory fees or optional fees. Visit refund schedules to learn more.

Course Withdrawal Policy


For full-semester courses, commencing on the eighth calendar day of the semester (fall and spring) and ending at midnight on the Friday of the tenth week (fall and spring), a student who submits a completed Course Schedule Adjustment Form may withdraw from any class, after consultation with the course instructor and advisor. After that point, if there are extenuating circumstances, a course withdrawal can be processed with the signature and approval of the dean. See the Course Schedule Adjustment form [Electronic form submission] for further details.

A W grade will appear on the academic transcript. A $20 course withdrawal fee applies along with any tuition and fee liability. Visit refund schedule to learn more.

In the case of courses that are less than full semester, the student may withdraw from a course through the course schedule adjustment process until the midpoint (50%) in the course after consultation with their advisor and instructor. After that point, if there are extenuating circumstances, a course withdrawal can be processed with the signature and approval of the dean. See the Course Adjustment form for further details.

Course withdrawal may affect the student’s financial aid eligibility or grace period repayment, medical insurance coverage, athletic eligibility and timely completion of degree requirements.

Course Withdrawal Procedure


Courses may be dropped online without tuition during the first seven days of the semester.

Prior to the unrestricted course withdrawal deadline, students may initiate a course withdrawal by completing the Course Schedule Adjustment Form [Electronic form submission] that will facilitate obtaining the necessary approvals indicated in the Course Withdrawal section. 

After the unrestricted courses withdrawal deadline, if there are extenuating circumstances, students may initiate a course withdrawal by completing the Course Schedule Adjustment Form [Electronic form submission] and obtaining approvals in the Late Course Withdrawal section. The electronic form will route your submission to the appropriate offices for approval of a late course withdrawal.   

After this has been processed by the registrar’s office, an email notification will be generated and forwarded to the student’s instructor(s) and academic advisor(s) and a grade of W will appear on the academic transcript.

The $20 course withdrawal fee as described above is assessed along with any tuition and fee liability. Visit refund schedules to learn more. Students are responsible for contacting the financial aid office to determine the consequences of course withdrawal.
