Students are obligated for any classes dropped after the first five class days of each semester. If a student is obligated for a dropped class, the amount of the tuition and/or fees for the dropped class may be applied to the cost of an added class for the current term.

During the summer session, students may drop or add classes at any time during the first five class days with no obligation for tuition or fees for the class.
