Withdrawal Policy
- Dropping courses may affect your financial aid.
- Complete withdrawals can result in a recalculation of your aid and may create a balance you owe.
- Always check with Financial Aid before withdrawing.
Review the semester Refund Schedule for the deadline dates of each session of classes to determine if you are "dropping" at 100% refund or "withdrawing" after the 100% refund period has ended.
