Add/Drop/Withdrawal Policy

The following Add/Drop/Withdrawal Policy is not an indication of refund money due. All Adds/Drops/Withdrawals are subject to the posted refund schedule. Students should refer to the website for the most current deadline information.

Students may add or drop courses during the designated add/drop period for the course via the Banner system. All Adds/Drops/Withdrawals that cannot be performed via Banner must be requested using the online Form 160. A drop takes place during the first week of a twelve week term or before the first class meeting for classes offered in the following formats: 6 week, 4 week, 3 week, or all day. A withdrawal occurs after the seventh day of a twelve week term, after a class has opened online or met in the classroom for the following formats: 6 week, 4 week, 3 week or all day.

Students who fail to officially drop or withdraw from courses that they do not complete will receive a grade of "FA" and are subject to the Academic Review Policy. Failure to attend class is not an official drop/withdrawal and students are responsible for any financial obligations they incur as a result of failing to drop/withdraw. Students who are under review for a pending Academic Honesty Violation may not drop the course in question until the issue has been resolved as determined by the Dean.

Auto Drop Policy for Nonattendance

Students who fail to attend the first class meeting may be dropped from class for nonattendance.

Students who are dropped from class for nonattendance may still be responsible for all or a portion of the charges on the student account and will not be allowed to enroll in future classes until the account is paid in full.

Students who are dropped from class may re-register by submitting the online Form 160 found on the web site and paying a $25 Reinstatement Fee per course. Students will be required to make full payment or payment arrangements on the day of reinstatement. Reinstatement will be allowed on a space available basis only and will be guided by the add/drop policy.

Withdrawal if You are Receiving SFA

If a recipient of Title IV Aid (financial aid recipient) withdraws from school during a payment period in which the recipient began attendance, the school must calculate the amount of Title IV Aid the student did not earn, and those funds must be returned. If a student has attended beyond the 60% point of his or her term, 100% of aid has been earned. If the recipient did not attend any class during the designated payment period, 100 percent of the funds must be returned to the lender.
