Tuition and Fee Refund from Withdrawing

Note: You must complete the withdrawal process with the One Stop Enrollment Center.
Example Scenario:
Joe is registered for 6 credit hours in the F term. He decides to no longer take classes in the F term and will instead take 6 credit hours in the S term. Joe reviews the Summer Academic Calendar and determines he must withdraw from the F term at One Stop before the first day of class to receive 100% tuition and fee refund for the course. If he withdraws on the first day or afterwards, he will receive a tuition and fee refund of 80%.
Census Date
Census date (5 p.m.) marks official enrollment for the summer term.
- If you are registered for more than one class within the term, it’s the last day to individually drop a class and receive a 100% tuition and fee refund.
Note: If you withdrawal from every course in your summer term, the refund will be in accordance with the Withdrawal Tuition and Fee Refund. - It’s the last day to drop or withdraw from a course without a grade being reported on your transcript.
Drop Course Deadline
This is the last day you can drop an individual course for the summer term and receive an automatic “W” for the grade.
Note: You must see your advisor to drop a developmental course.
Withdrawal Deadline
This is the last day to withdraw from all classes in the summer term. A grade of “W” will automatically be given for each course.
