Adding and Dropping courses after the start of the semester
Students must pay close attention to the University's add/drop policy and refund schedule. The refund schedule is different from the academic schedule for dropping or withdrawing.
- Beginning the first day of the semester (not the first class meeting), students who drop credits without adding an equivalent number of credits are charged a percentage of tuition for the dropped credits (non-refundable tuition).
- Tuition awards do not cover non-refundable tuition charges. Even fully-funded students should expect to pay these charges out of pocket. Departments may choose to cover these charges from R-funds. Similarly, awards do not cover late fees or finance charges related to late registration change.
- Students may petition the associate dean for a waiver of non-refundable tuition charges. These petitions are rarely granted.
