Drop Deadline and Refunds

Drops or withdrawals from courses is not an automatic process. It is the responsibility of the student to drop the classes that they are not attending. Failure to drop by the deadline dates may result in the student owing tuition and fees, receiving substandard grades, and losing eligibility for financial aid.

Refund Drop Deadline Dates

Refund Procedures

A student may request a refund up to the end of the following term in which the refund was due. After that time, the student will not be eligible for a refund. Refunds are not automatic.
