Students must notify the Registrar’s Office or Academic Advisor prior to the published date for “Last Day to Withdraw with Refund” (see Academic Calendar and Refunds for Tuition) in order to receive a refund. Students can also drop courses through SIS during the refund period.
Simply ceasing to attend classes or notifying the instructor does not constitute officially dropping a course.
Students should always consult with an academic advisor prior to withdrawing from course(s) to avoid adverse penalties such as loss of financial aid eligibility, VA Education Benefits, or delay in meeting graduation requirements.
