Spring 2014 classes started today. If you still need to make changes to your schedule, you should read this post first.
Beginning on the first day of classes of each term, the Office of the Registrar’s late drop tuition penalty policy goes into effect. Essentially, if you drop a course (without adding the same number of credits in the same transaction) you will incur a late drop fee. The fee is based on when you drop the course(s):
| If you drop a course… | The % of tuition you’ll be refunded is… |
| Before the end of the first week of classes(by 10pm Sunday) | 90% |
| Before the end of the second week of classes(by 10pm Sunday) | 60% |
| Before the end of the third week of classes(by 5pm Friday) | 40% |
| Before the end of the fourth week of classes(by 5pm Friday) | 25% |
| After the fourth week of classes | None |
If you need to drop a course and add a course (courses must be an even exchange of credits), you’ll need to do so in the same registration transaction during the first 2 weeks of classes to avoid the late drop fees. We encourage students in this situation to consider using a Registration Transaction Form (RTF) to avoid technical glitches that may be experienced on GWeb. Here’s an example of how to complete the RTF for an even exchange of credits:
