Tuition reduction for dropped classes is based on the date the add/drop form is received by Student Administrative Services. The postmark date is used if the form is mailed to Student Administrative Services (adult students only). The reduction rate is valid through the last business day of each reduction period.
Reducing the number of credit hours you are enrolled in each semester may also reduce financial aid.

For the first week of classes, including the first weekend session, a drop of any course which has not begun (e.g., dropping a Thursday class on the first Wednesday of the session) will be reduced 100%. This will include any applicable course fees. Even exchange of courses with the same number of credit hours will continue to be accepted as in the past.
