Fall 2007 Add/Drop and Withdrawal Policies
In accordance with Federal regulations, financial assistance will be adjusted for any aid recipient who withdraws during the semester. A portion of his or her financial aid will be refunded to the Title IV programs as required by the U.S. Department of Education. Such financial aid calculations may result in the student owing a balance to the University.
Add/Drop: Students may drop some but NOT ALL courses during the first two weeks of classes (September 4 through September 17, 2007) for a full reversal of all charges related to the dropped course. Dropping courses is defined as a reduction in course load while remaining in the University (the student drops one or more courses, but not all courses). No full or partial refunds will be given after September 18 for dropped courses.
Withdrawal: For purposes of calculating tuition adjustments, the attendance period begins on the opening day of scheduled campus classes (September 4, 2007), includes weekends, holidays, and snow days, and ends on the date the student notifies the Registrar’s Office that he/she is withdrawing.
Withdrawal is defined as students who give official notification of their withdrawal to the University after a semester/session begins. (The student is withdrawing from ALL classes and is leaving the University.) Tuition and fees for withdrawals are reduced in accordance with the following schedule:
