Courses may be changed, added, or dropped during the first two weeks of each semester without penalty. Courses may be added or dropped after the second week of the semester, however, those dropped after the second week are listed on the transcript with a grade of W. The date on which the graduate registrar receives the student's written notification of withdrawal from school governs the academic and financial consequences of the withdrawal. A student who stops attending a course without notifying the registrar receives a grade of F in that course. No refunds of the tuition or student fee are given in the case of individual course withdrawals after the second week of classes, although a student who withdraws from all courses may receive a partial refund according to the rules described by the Office of the Registrar.
