Any time you drop a course or withdraw from the University, you may be jeopardizing your federally funded student financial aid, now or in the future. You must successfully complete at least two-thirds of all courses in which you enroll. Dropping after the first day of class may not affect your academic standing, but it may affect your ability to receive financial aid. Please review this policy and others pertaining to your financial aid in the Code of Student Life in the appendix section titled “A Summary of the Standards of Satisfactory Progress for Financial Aid Eligibility,” or contact the Financial Aid Office.
REFUND FOR CLASS CHANGES (DROP/ADD)
Students dropping a class during the first seven instructional class days of the semester will receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. After the seventh class day of the semester there is no refund for a class which is dropped. However, classes of the same or fewer credits may be substituted at no additional tuition/fee charge. If the substituted class requires a special course fee, the student will be assessed that charge.
