Notes:

  1. If a class has a format that is not listed, please compute total number of days in the course and divide by the number of course dates occurring before the withdrawal date to find the percent of completed course time. If the course is 10–33% over, the amount to be refunded is 75%; if the course is 34–49% over, the amount to be refunded is 50%; if the course is more than 49% over, no refund will be generated. CA workshops are non-refundable after the first meeting. A “W” grade will be given to any student who formally withdraws from a course prior to its midpoint.
  2. If you are a financial aid student and you withdraw from or drop classes to a point where you are considered less than half time for the semester after a financial aid disbursement has been made and a refund check sent, you could be billed back for the full amount of the disbursement.
  3. Students who cease/fail to attend (virtual or otherwise) and have not formally withdrawn from the course will receive a grade of “E.” A charge-back for financial aid may be incurred based on student's last day of attendance.
  4. To drop a weekend course, the drop must be completed prior to 9 a.m. (EST) of the 2nd class meeting date. After 9 a.m. and up to the mid-point, it will be classified as a course withdrawal. To drop a weekday course, the drop request must be completed prior to 6 p.m. (EST) of the 2nd class meeting date. After 6 p.m. and up to the mid-point, it will be classified as a course withdrawal.
  5. The start time for CMU Online courses is 12:01 a.m. on the first day of class. Drop/withdrawal requests received after that will be assessed a $50 fee. Each new week for an online class begins on Monday at 12:01 a.m. and ends on the following Sunday at 12:00 midnight.  The amount of tuition refunded is based on the week the request is received within.  Holidays do not have any effect on this definition of a week.
