Withdrawal from Classes / Refunds

Students must formally withdraw from classes - failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal. Beyond the refund period, students wishing to withdraw from a class must fill out a Drop Slip to be sent to the Admissions and Records Office.

Students are also encouraged to speak with staff from the Academic Advising Office and Office of Student Financial Assistance prior to withdrawing from classes.
