Dropping a class or classes is not considered a withdrawal. A University Withdrawal is officially discontinuing all classes for which a student is registered on or after the 1st day of classes through the 50th class day in a semester (or equivalent). Beginning the first class day of each term, students will not be able to go online and drop all of their classes.
Remember: Flat tuition rate students are not penalized for adds and drops as long as they remain at 12 or more hours. Dropping a class results in the following refund of tuition and fee charges.
Refunds will be computed as follows:

When a student drops and adds an equal number of credit hours during the 100% refund days, it is considered an even exchange.
Beginning on the sixth class day of the Fall or Spring semesters, the third day of Summer I or Summer II, the fourth day of Full Summer, the second day of Minimester, or the sixth day of the Law Quarter, a student is refunded according to the schedule above for a dropped class and is assessed 100% of tuition and related fees for adding a class.
If dropping and adding a course beyond the designated drop/add dates listed above, the only exception to having tuition assessed when dropping and adding a course is if the student drops and adds sections among the same course within the same term. For example, if a student drops a course in Summer I, then he/she will also need to add the same course in Summer I for it to be considered an even exchange.
