Drop and Withdrawal

Drop and Withdraw

Registration changes such as Late Drops and Term Withdrawals affect your tuition, fees, and grades. Students are not automatically dropped from courses due to non-attendance and must take action if they wish to change their registration.

The procedures and refund polices for dropping an individual course when you are enrolled in multiple courses and withdrawing from all of your courses/cancelling your registration are different, so please review them carefully. Visit the Registration Policies and Procedures and our Key Dates for additional information.

Withdrawal

If you are registered in one or more courses during the summer and want to withdraw from all of your courses, this means that you will be withdrawing from the university for the summer.
