    Undergraduate Student Drop and Withdrawal Policy

    Drop Policy:  Students may drop a course any time by the Friday of the second week of class.  If drops are done during the allotted time period, the class will be eliminated from the academic record completely.  If the student is paying per credit hour (1-12 credit hours), any money the student may have paid will be credited to their account.  If a drop results in a credit balance, the student can specify the refund method through Higher One.  Students who pay flat-fee tuition (13-18 credit hours) will not receive a refund if their enrollment remains within 13-18 credit hours.  Please refer to the online Academic Calendar for the specific drop deadline date.  Drops should be processed through their assigned academic advisor or by visiting the Academic Advising Center during normal office hours.

    Withdrawal Policy:  Students may withdraw from an 8-week course from the third through the sixth week of class, subject to refunds as stated below.  Students may withdraw up until the 12th week of a semester-long course, subject to refunds as stated below.  Please refer to the online Academic Calendar for the specific deadline date.  The student will receive a "W" on their official academic record, but it will not affect the overall GPA.  You may notify your instructor of your intention to Withdraw, but it is your responsibility to contact your advisor for processing.  Instructors do not have the capability to process this request.  Withdrawals should be processed through their assigned academic advisor or by visiting the Academic Advising Center during normal office hours.
