Courses and Refunds

Students who wish to withdraw from a class or change classes are governed by the following policy:

• Withdrawals through the 11th day of full-semester fall and spring courses and the fifth day of the summer terms are not recorded on the student's permanent record.
• Full-semester spring and fall courses dropped before the semester begins and during the first week of the semester are given a 100 percent refund. Beginning in the second week and until the 11th class day, courses are dropped at the 50-percent rate. Courses dropped after the 11th day are not refunded.
• Refunds for shorter courses, such as eight-week courses, will be calculated on a prorated basis of a regular semester course.
• Summer courses dropped before the term begins and during the first two days are given a 100 percent refund. Beginning on the third day and until the fifth class day, courses are dropped at the 50-percent rate. Courses dropped after the fifth day are not refunded. 
• Students withdrawing from a credit course before 5 p.m. on Friday of the 12th week (or posted last day to withdraw) of the fall or spring semester will receive a W on their permanent record.
• Summer term students withdrawing from a credit class before 5 p.m. on Friday of the fourth week of the five-week term in which they are enrolled will receive a W on their permanent record.

Students who withdraw from a class or change classes according to the refund policy and are due a refund may select a refund preference with BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc.

Process for Dropping/Adding Courses

Students with web registration access may add or drop classes before the start of the semester via My.UAFS. Students without web registration access may drop through an advisor and the Registrar's Office.

Students with web registration access may add or drop classes via web registration on My.UAFS during the first week of the semester (schedule adjustment period) to add or drop classes. The schedule adjustment period is the first week of the fall or spring term. Web registration access will end at 5 p.m. on the Friday of the first week of the semester.

Most students will be able to submit a request to withdraw from a course(s) online after the schedule adjustment period. The link to the withdrawal request can be found within the Registration Menu on My.UAFS (Student Services - Registration - Withdraw from Class). Students should follow all prompts and answer all questions within the drop process, and submit when complete. Students will be withdrawn from the requested course(s) after review by advisor.
