Registration Adding and dropping classes to avoid losing money!

If you need to drop a class, please complete the process online.

Choosing not to go to class doesn't automatically drop you, in fact it can really hurt you in the long run.

Until 4 pm on Friday of Week 1 of the quarter, you can drop registration online. If you drop before then, you will receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees.

IMPORTANT: If you are a student who receives financial aid, reducing your credit below 12 credits can mean that you will get less aid.

Starting on Monday of Week Two, you can only drop registration by paper form with your signature and you may only be refunded up to 50% of your tuition if you don’t add the same amount of credits back.

Beyond Week 2- Beyond the 10th day of the quarter, it becomes more difficult to drop classes and you must fill out a petition to do so. TRIO can help! If you need guidance about dropping a class- don’t hesitate to reach out to your advisor.
