Tuition Impact
You must drop by the refund deadline to receive a full or partial refund. Full-time students receive a 100% refund only if all courses are dropped before the first day of the semester.
Financial Aid Impact
If dropping a course reduces your enrollment below full-time status, your financial aid may be adjusted. Review Student Planning: How Part-Time Enrollment Affects Financial Aid for details.
