Drop/Add Policy
Any course dropped during the week before classes begin or thereafter will be assessed a $25 fee.  Students may drop and add courses without academic penalty through the first two weeks of class. Drop/Add forms are available in the education department office and must be signed by the course instructor and the director of graduate studies. Notice of withdrawal prior to the first class meeting–100% refund; prior to the second class meeting–80%; prior to the third class meeting–60%; prior to the fourth class meeting–40%; beyond the fourth class meeting--no refund.

Course Withdrawal Procedures
Students who seek to withdraw from a course after the third class meeting (or after the add/drop period) must submit to the director of graduate studies, before the end of the 10th week of a semester long course, a withdrawal form signed by the instructor of the course in question. In respect to 8-week courses, there is a modified refund policy. After the first class you will be charged 80% tuition. After the second class the charge is 100% of the tuition rate. Withdrawal from class after the end of the 10th week is allowed only in cases of serious illness or other emergencies and must be approved by the director of graduate studies. No adjustment in tuition (full- or part time) is made as a result of withdrawal from a class(es). A grade of W will appear on the student’s transcript.

Withdraw requests must be received in writing to be considered official. A withdrawal is effective the date it is received by the education office.
