Late Drop
If approved, a late drop will result in a
full refund of tuition fees and the complete
removal of the course from the student's
academic record. Because there is a refund
of tuition involved, a late drop requires
the student to be involved in a truly extraordinary
situation. A common reason to pursue a late
drop is if there was a death of an immediate
family member. A late drop must be filed
within six (6) months of the end of the semester
involved. A late drop is usually for all classes.
Talk to your professor before pursuing a late drop petition. Your professor
should be informed of your intent to change
the registration status of your class(es).
