Visiting Students
Adds, Drops, and Withdrawals
The following policies apply to all changes in registration:
- 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.
- You may drop a course up to its midpoint without incurring a failing grade.
- You may withdraw entirely from Summer Session by filling
out the Cancellation/Withdrawal Form available in the Office
of the Registrar. If 60 percent of the course has elapsed
on the date of withdrawal, the course remains on your transcript
with a notation of W (withdrawn).
- Failure to attend a course does not constitute a drop or withdrawal under any circumstances and incurs a failing grade (F) on official transcripts.
- You may not drop or withdraw from a course after it has ended.
- 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.
- Registration changes of any kind (adds, drops, or withdrawals) are accepted in writing only. Do not send correspondence regarding registration changes to the instructor or the Office of Student Accounts. Only the Office of the Registrar can process registration changes. Please keep dated copies of any correspondence with the registrar.
