Adds, Drops, and Withdrawals

If you wish to change your registration in any way, please carefully read the following policies:

  • You may add a course up to its second class meeting. Tuition for added courses must be paid in full at the time of the change and may be paid by check or money order, or by completing the credit card authorization on the Change of Registration Form (PDF Format).
  • You may drop a course up to its midpoint without incurring a failing grade.
  • You may withdraw entirely from the Summer Session by filling out a Change of Registration Form (PDF Format). If 60 percent of the course has elapsed on the date of withdrawal, the course remains on your transcript with a grade of W.
  • Failure to attend a course does not constitute a drop or withdrawal under any circumstances and incurs a failing grade (F) on official transcripts.
  • Students who drop courses or withdraw from Summer Session may be eligible for a tuition refund, less any nonrefundable fees and deposits. The refund is calculated according to the official drop date. Do not send registration change requests to the course instructor or to the Office of Student Accounts. Keep dated copies of any correspondence with the registrar.
