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.
