A student may begin attending a college course but be unable to continue due to circumstances beyond their control.
A student may drop a course within the first 20% of the length of the course (see Dropping/Withdrawing from a Course). A dropped course will result in a partial refund of tuition and fees for that course. Dropping a course may reduce a student’s financial aid award.
A student may withdraw from a course after it has passed the 20% mark until it has reached the 60% mark (see Dropping/Withdrawing from a Course). There is no tuition/fees refund for a student withdrawal from a course. Withdrawing from a course may reduce a student’s financial aid award.
