The deadline for withdrawing from a course is August 4, 2023. After the add/drop deadline, there is no cancellation of tuition.The date of withdrawal is determined based on the submission of the Course Withdrawal Form located on the Student Services Academic Forms page.
Students are responsible for properly dropping or withdrawing from a course by the deadline.
