Withdrawals, Refunds and Transfers

Withdrawals

Requests to withdraw from a course must be received before the last meeting of the course. Following the proper withdrawal procedure will ensure an appropriate grade assignment.

Refunds

Refund requests for short courses (five or fewer meetings), will be approved, less a $30 processing fee, if the request is received seven calendar days before the course begins. For quarter-long courses (more than five meetings), refunds will be approved, less a $30 processing fee, if the request is received before the second meeting of the course.

Requests for withdrawals or refunds may be made by phone, fax or in writing. Please include the student's name, course title and course section number. For information about other alternatives (e.g. transferring to another course or sending a substitute), contact our Student Services office at: 800-752-0881 or by email.

Transfers

Requests to transfer to another course within the same quarter or in the next quarter will be granted if the request is received by the UC Davis Extension Registration Office seven days before the beginning of class. If additional fees are due, they must be paid within 30 days or by the first class meeting (whichever is first). After 30 days the student will be billed for the additional tuition plus a $25 processing fee. Overpayment will be refunded immediately. Requests may be made by phone, fax or mail. A processing fee may be assessed if a student requests to transfer more than once.
