Withdrawal
When a student registers it is understood that he or she will pay in full all charges assumed at registration. Failure to attend classes does not alter the charges or entitle the student to a refund. You will not be permitted to receive your grades, transcripts, or diploma unless your student account is satisfied in full.
Official Withdrawal
A student officially withdraws from the University when he or she completes the appropriate forms and follows the procedures outlined in the catalogue. A resident student must also withdraw from University Housing. The following table will be used to determine refunds:

Course Withdrawal
Students may drop courses with no penalty during the official Drop/Add period. This is for the period August 31 - September 11, 2009 for the Fall semester. The Drop/Add period for the Spring semester is January 20 - January 29, 20010. After the end of the Drop/Add period, students are refunded following the table above under Course Withdrawal column.
The above course revision policy, in general, applies to part-time students (enrolled in less than 12 semester hours) and graduate students.** If a student should decide to withdraw from a course after the drop/add period and add another course, he/she will be refunded for the course dropped according to the above schedule and will be charged the full hourly rate for the course added. Full-time students who are making course changes and remain full time receive no adjustment to tuition. Adjustments are made if the student drops to a part-time status or drops overload classes according to the above schedule. The refund schedule for the summer session is contained in the summer catalogue.
** Students enrolled in accelerated courses should contact the Student Accounts Office for the appropriate refund schedule.
