Dropping a class or classes is not considered a withdrawal. The term "withdrawal" refers to dropping all classes through the Paul L. Foster Success Center and leaving the University for that term. 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.
