Tuition and Fee Adjustment Policy for Dropping Classes
The tuition and fee adjustment dates are determined by the Treasurer’s Office. All tuition and fee adjustment dates for dropped classes will be published and made available on the academic semester calendar.
Deans and department heads should encourage all professors and instructors to publish syllabi for all courses taught in their departments, allowing students the opportunity to preview those classes (books required, number of tests and exams, number of papers required) and make an informed decision before the start of the semester.
For purposes of this policy, a class day is defined as each weekday that the university is open for business during the session whether or not the class meets on that day.

Self-Paced Online Courses
Students who wish to drop a Self-Paced Online Course must notify the Office of Credit Studies in writing. In most cases, students cannot drop themselves from a Self-Paced Online Course using the University's student information system. Drop requests must be made via email from the student's University of Arkansas email account and sent to drop@uark.edu, and the date of the email will be used to determine any applicable fee adjustments and what grade, if any, will appear on the student's official record. See the Self-Paced Online Course Calendar for details, including the last day for students to drop without a "W" (representing withdrawn) assigned and the last day to drop with a "W" assigned.
