Notes and definitions
Throughout this overview, refund refers to the date by which a course must be dropped to receive tuition reimbursement; this rule applies to the regular session only. Likewise, W grade indicates a withdrawal recorded on the transcript without affecting GPA. For deadlines that vary by session or for nonstandard sessions, contact the Admissions & Records Office to confirm exact policies and dates.
Keeping these dates visible on your calendar can prevent unexpected financial or academic consequences. If you plan travel around the holidays (May 25, June 19, July 3), make sure to discuss any missed instruction with instructors ahead of time and follow official drop/add procedures if schedule changes are necessary.
