Fee Deadlines & Refunds

Whether or not fees will be reversed for dropping or withdrawing from a course is dependent on when in the term you are attempting to drop or withdraw. Below outlines fee reversals for full semester and intersession courses (see Dates & Deadlines for specific add/drop and withdrawal deadlines).*

Before the term startsIf you drop a full semester or intersession course before the term starts (see the "First day of classes" for the term or intersession from the appropriate Dates and Deadline), 100% of tuition and fees are reversed.
From the first day of term to the add/drop deadline
  • If you drop a full semester or intersession course after the term has started and before the add/drop deadline, 30% of the tuition fee will be charged as a tuition adjustment.
  • If you drop a course and add a course of a lesser tuition fee, 30% of the difference in the tuition amounts will be charged. 
  • If you drop and add a course with the same or higher tuition fee within this period, there is no penalty.
