There is no credit (refund) given after 6 weeks of registration.

Refunds will not be given to students who do not adhere to these deadlines.

If it does not reflect the addition, change, or deletion, or if students have problems viewing their schedule through Self-Service, they should contact the Registrar's Office.

There will be no fee charged for 3 credit courses having 2 classes per week dropped up to and including the last day for change in registration.* Fee credits will be calculated as the tuition fee paid for the course minus 15% times the number of classes including the week of withdrawal, since the course began. There is no credit (refund) given after 6 classes.

Refunds will not be given to students who do not adhere to these deadlines.
