Withdrawals, Refunds and Transfers

Please note: Some courses have special refund, transfer and withdrawal policies. For the most accurate information for the course you are interested in, please see the course description page on our Web site.

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 in the same quarter or the next must be received seven days prior to the first class meeting of the class from which you will transfer. Note: For quarter-long courses (more than six meetings), you may transfer out before the second class meeting. If additional fees are due, they must be paid at the time of the transfer. Transfer to a course with a lower course fee will result in a refund, processed automatically. A $30 processing fee may be assessed if you request to transfer course fees more than once. Courses with special refund policies may have limits or fees for transfer.
