Course Withdrawals (“Drop”): Students may withdraw from a course at any time up to the twelfth week of the semester. See the Financial information section of the handbook for the tuition refund schedule.
Unusual Circumstances: Where illness or extraordinary circumstances require a student to withdraw after the twelfth week, the student may submit a written statement to the Program Director requesting a withdrawal from the course(s).
Course Additions (“Add”): Students may be permitted to register for a course through the first week of the semester. No additions are permitted beyond that date.
To Drop or Add: Students who wish to change their course status must initiate the request through their program office. Drop/Add requests must be approved by the Program Director and the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. If approved, tuition refunds will be granted according to the schedule stated in the handbook – see the Financial Information section for the tuition refund schedule. Approval of a request is NOT guaranteed.
Financial Aid Alert: Students receiving financial aid must maintain a minimum of six (6) course credits in order to remain compliant and eligible for federal financial aid. Students who drop below the minimum of six (6) course credits required for financial aid will become financially responsible for tuition and fees for those credits. Failure to meet financial aid compliance will affect a student’s ability to receive financial aid in the future.
