The drop/add period is listed in the semester's
academic calendar.
It generally ends approximately 7 days after the start of classes. Within the
drop/add period, a student can fill out a drop/add, have it signed by an advisor
and take it to the Registrar's Office. Any student who drops a class after classes
have begun, will not receive a 100% refund of tuition. Students are liable for
tuition charges, for each course as follows:
Up to the first week, the student will receive a refund of 80%
Up to the second week, the student will receive a refund of 60%
Up to the third week, the student will receive a refund of 40%
Up to the fourth week, the student will receive a refund of 20%
Beyond the fourth week, no refund will be available
For additional information regarding refunds, please refer to the Graduate
Studies Catalog or contact the Bursar's
Office.
If a drop/add is being processed after the deadline, the form must come
to the Graduate Dean's Office for signature. It must be accompanied by an explanation
of why the form is being processed after the deadline. If everything is in order,
we will sign and forward it to the Registrar's Office. The Registrar cannot
accept these forms after the deadline without a signature from the Dean's Office.
Withdrawal forms (red and white) and Drop/Add forms (blue and white) should
be available in the main office of each department and the Registrar's Office.
