Add/Drop with Refund

Dropping a class or classes

When a class is dropped it is either done within the refund period (dropped with refund) or dropped after the refund period (dropped without refund).

Dropped With Refund: A drop with refund WILL NOT be reflected on a transcript for the class and it will NOT affect a student's completion rate.

  • If payment has been made for a class, it will be refunded at 100%.
  • Students eligible for a refund will be refunded either to their existing bank account or to a reloadable debit card based on their refund method selection.
  • If payment was made to a credit card, the refund will be credited back to the original credit card.

Dropped Without Refund: A “W” (withdrawal grade) WILL be reflected on the transcript for the class and it WILL affect a student's completion rate.

  • If the class is already paid for, there will be no refund issued to the student.
  • If the class is not already paid for, the student will still owe for the class and will be billed as such.

Important considerations before dropping classes

  • Term Start Date is Key
    • The refund schedule is based on the term start date, NOT the start date of the course.
    • Be sure you know what term your course is in.
  • Refund Deadlines and the Last Day to Drop Courses are NOT the same
    • Refunds are calculated only by the scheduled refund deadlines on this page.
    • To view last day to drop courses dates, view the Academic Calendar.
  • Students should consider consulting with an advisor or counselor.
  • Students should consider insurance issues affected by dropping classes.
  • Financial Aid may be affected when a class or classes are dropped.

Student Refunds are computed by using one of the following:

  1. The date the Registration Department receives a formal drop form from the student
  2. The date the Registration Department receives a phone call, mail or fax from the student requesting a class drop (Remember, if you drop a class by phone, you will not have a record of the day you dropped)
  3. The date the student initiates a drop via the Internet.

Adding a class or classes

  • Current students may add classes through the first 5 business days of Part of term 1 (Fall, Spring & Summer Terms).
  • After the enrollment deadline, students may add late starting courses only.
