Graduate Refunds And Credit

Requests to drop or withdraw from a course must be made in writing to the College of Graduate Studies. The cessation of attendance and/or failure to log into a course does not constitute an official withdrawal. The level of drop or withdrawal and the tuition that is to be refunded are determined by the date the written request is received. A fee associated with any course is not refundable once the term has begun.
