Please be aware that the University’s tuition refund dates for a given semester are for all courses taken during that semester. Those courses include 2-credit hour and 1-credit hour courses that may begin well beyond the drop/add and tuition refund deadlines. For example, if you register in December for a 1-credit hour course that meets in April, then decide to drop the course in February when the deadline to drop with a tuition refund was at the end of January, you will lose your tuition for that course. Please refer to the University’s calendars for such dates.
