Withdrawal/Drop Policies Impact

Withdrawal/Drop Policies

Schedule adjustments made through the first week of classes (add/drop period) may result in an adjustment of tuition and fees.  Full tuition and fees are assessed for Undergraduates at 12 hours or more and graduate students 9 hours or more.  Undergraduate students enrolled in 1-11 credit hours and graduate students in 1-8 credit hours at the end of the add/drop period will be charged for those credits in which they are enrolled. 

Students who completely withdraw from the term from the time of registration through the end of the add/drop period will not receive a grade of “W”.  Students who withdraw from the term before the first day of the add/drop period will receive a full refund of tuition and fees.  Beginning on the first day of the term a refund schedule will be in place and follow the dates outlined below.
