Undergraduate Students (Fall/Spring Terms) Enrolled in 12-17 Credit Hours (the "flat fee" range)

Undergraduate students in the "flat fee" range (enrolled in 12 - 17 credit hours) who adjust hours after the first week of classes will not have any change in tuition assessment if the drop and add occur on the same calendar day and if they maintain enrollment in the "flat fee" range of hours after the adjustment.

Changes to enrollment not completed on the same calendar day which result in enrollment in fewer than 12 or in more than 17 hours will incur additional costs. The dropped hours will be credited at the percentage amount appropriate to the refund period and a late program change fee will be assessed. The added hours will be charged to your account at 100 percent of the cost.

There is no financial credit given for a dropped course after the close of the refund period.

A Late Schedule Change Fee of $23.00 will be assessed beginning in the second week of classes for each section dropped.

Undergraduate Students (Fall/Spring Terms) Enrolled in 18 or More Credit Hours (Effective Fall 2008)

Undergraduate students enrolled in 18 or more credit hours who adjust hours after the first week of classes will not have any change in tuition assessment if the drop and add occur on the same calendar day and if they remain in the same number of hours as initially enrolled (that is, as enrolled prior to the day’s drop/add activity).

If the drop and add occur on the same calendar day, but the number of hours enrolled increases, the student will be charged for the “net add” at the credit-hour rate.

If the drop and add occur on the same calendar day, but the number of hours enrolled decreases, the student will be refunded for the “net drop” at the appropriate percentage down to 17 hours.  Note that a refund only occurs during the refund period (generally, the first four weeks of the term), and that the student has not dropped below 12 hours.

Example 1:   On the same calendar day after the first week of classes, a student in 18 hours drops 3 hours and adds 6.   The student would be charged for 3 hours (the “net add”) at the credit-hour rate.   

Example 2:  A student in 19 hours adds 3 hours and drops 6 during the 2nd week of classes.   The “net drop” is 3 hours; the student receives a 75% refund on 2 of those hours (the difference between 19 and 17).   

After the end of the partial refund period (for regular full-term courses, the end of the fourth week) the student would not be charged for added hours accompanied on the same day by drops of equal or greater hours, but there would be no refund for “net drops.”   Throughout the term, adds will continue to be offset against drops occurring on the same day before assessing the “net add” at the credit-hour rate.

A Late Schedule Change Fee of $23.00 will be assessed beginning in the second week of classes for each section dropped.

Undergraduate Students (Fall/Spring Terms) Enrolled in Fewer than 12 Credit Hours

If an undergraduate student enrolled in fewer than 12 credit hours drops and adds hours after the first week of classes, the student will receive a partial refund for the dropped course(s) (for regular, full-term courses: 75% the second week, 50% the third, 25% the fourth and 0% thereafter) and will pay in full for the added course(s). The partial refund will be applied toward the fees charged for the added course(s). Refer to the Refund Policy for details.

A Late Schedule Change Fee of $23.00 will be assessed beginning in the second week of classes for each section dropped.

Graduate Students:

If a graduate student drops and adds hours after the first week of classes, the student will receive a partial refund for the dropped course(s) (for regular, full-term courses: 75% the second week, 50% the third, 25% the fourth and 0% thereafter) and will pay in full for the added course(s). The partial refund will be applied toward the fees charged for the added course(s).

Students with fee scholarships/fee remissions should be aware that during the partial (< 100%) refund period, a portion of the fee remission applying to the dropped course is also forfeited, so that the full value of the fee remission is no longer available to apply toward an added course.

A Late Schedule Change Fee of $23.00 will be assessed beginning in the second week of classes for each section dropped.

All Summer Students:

If a student drops and adds hours after the end of the 100% refund period, the student will receive a partial refund for the dropped course(s) in accordance with the Summer Refund Schedule. The partial refund will be applied toward the fees charged for the added course(s).

A Late Schedule Change Fee of $23.00 will be assessed beginning after the end of the 100% refund period for each section dropped.
