School of Continuing Studies (SCS) Students
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.
