Tips on dropping a course

Dropping with HawkTalk? Make sure you answer YES when the system asks "Do you want to update your schedule?" After you have completed your transaction, review your schedule to ensure that the class was dropped. Do not hang up prematurely. Wait until the system says "Goodbye," or it will not process your drop.

Receiving Financial Aid? Before withdrawing or dropping a course, check in with the Financial Aid Office. In some situations, you will be required to pay back financial aid you already received. Learn more about withdrawing and financial aid...

Don't get stuck owing us money for classes you forgot to drop! If you enroll in a class and then change your mind and decide not to attend it, you need to officially drop the class before the refund deadline. Otherwise you will owe us for the fees. We do not automatically drop you from classes you haven't paid for, and an outstanding balance may prevent you from registering again.

Also, see our page on refunds.
