Students who wish to drop a class must do so prior to 12am on the first day of class (the first day the course opens) by contacting their Program Coordinator. Students who request a drop will be removed from the course as if they never registered and provided a full refund by the University. Whether or not a refund is immediately paid out to the individual or the funds are applied towards future courses will depend upon the circumstances of the student. For example, in the case of a corporate subsidy, it will be up to the discretion and policies of the company. Students should consult with their Program Coordinator regarding their unique situation.
After the first day of class, requests for removal from a course are considered withdrawals. Students remain financially responsible for the full tuition cost of the course unless and until they request and receive approval for a course withdrawal. Withdrawal refunds follow a tuition refund scale (see Withdrawal from a Course section of this document). Students receiving tuition benefits from a third-party agency or corporation are subject to the policies of that entity and are encouraged to check any restrictions/penalties they may incur prior to dropping a class.
Students who drop a course and have been issued electronic course materials will be charged for the cost of all materials that have been accessed.
Non-attendance does not constitute a drop from a course and does not nullify financial responsibility. See Course Progress and Attendance section of this document for more information.
