During open registration students may drop one or more courses for 100% refund and the record of the class will not show on their transcript. Beginning the day after registration closes, students may no longer drop a course. Students now must "withdraw" to officially stop taking a course.
A partial withdrawal means withdrawing from one or more courses but NOT the entire schedule of classes. A "W" appears on the transcript for each course withdrawn. A "W" does not affect grade point average.
A complete withdrawal is withdrawing from all courses for the remainder of the term. A "W" appears on the transcript for each course withdrawn. A "W" does not affect grade point average.
Exception: If a class does not meet for the first time until after the last day
to register then the student has a 24-hour grace period to drop the
course for a full 100% refund. After that, a student must withdraw
to officially stop taking the course.
Caution: Depending on the dates, students may receive a partial refund of tuition,
however, even if they haven't paid anything they are still financially
responsible for their tuition.
