Accelerated and Weekend classes dropped during the week before the session begins will be assessed a $25 drop fee. For those dropping classes after the course begins, see the refund policies section in Administrative Policies. A withdrawal form must be filed at the Frederick site to avoid financial penalties. Withdrawal forms are available on the Continuing Studies website  for download. Fax all drops to 301-682-5247 or bring them in person to the Frederick office. Out of consideration to other students and the instructor, it is strongly urged that those who must drop classes do so as early as possible. This policy facilitates decisions on classes running and allows students on the waitlist to register and prepare for class.
