BA Criminal Justice Online - Dropping a Class

Dropping a Class

To drop a course prior to the start of the term/session use the on-line system managed by the Professional and Continuing Education Program. 

Drop Request Forms

Summer 2025

Fall 2025

Census Deadline

Important Note:
No record will be made of enrollment (no grade of "W") in courses that are dropped by or before the specific semester's CENSUS date. Drops after the census date are considered withdrawals.

Withdrawing From Classes

If you need to withdraw from a class or classes, you must provide supporting documentation for your request to be considered. Withdrawals will also require the approval of both the class instructor and the Faculty Coordinator of your program.  To initiate a withdrawal, please use the online Petition to Drop After Census form. 

Student Responsibilities:

  • It is the student’s responsibility to verify their student program plan prior to the Census deadline, as grades will be assigned for every course in which you are officially registered.
  • Students must also ensure they drop any class(es) they do not plan to attend or complete by the Census deadline.

CEGE Refund Policy

Refund checks are mailed approximately 2-4 weeks after the withdrawal request is received by the College of Extended and Global Education. Refunds for credit card payments will be credited back to the original card number.

Full Refund

In order to receive a full refund of tuition fees paid, a student must notify the College of Extended and Global Education in writing to cancel registration and drop all courses prior to the first day of classes. Please note, however, that some courses are non-refundable, regardless of drop date. Please see specific program and/or course refund deadlines.

  • Course drop requests received prior to the start of the term/session will be eligible for a 100% refund less a $25 administrative fee.

Students may also receive a refund of tuition fees, under the following circumstances:

  • The tuition and other program or course fees were assessed or collected in error; or
  • The course or program for which the tuition or program or course fees were assessed or collected was cancelled; or
  • The student was activated for compulsory military service.
Partial Refund

Students withdrawing after the first day of the course will receive a pro-rated refund in accordance with the specific course or program refund policy and established deadlines.

Course drop requests received after the course start date but before the census deadlines are eligible for a 65% refund less a $25 administrative fee.

No Refund

No student withdrawing after the program specific deadlines will be entitled to a refund of any course or program tuition fees.

Course drop requests received after the census deadline are not eligible for a refund, and will require a Petition to Drop After Census form to be submitted.

Tuition Appeal

Students who are not entitled to a refund as described above may petition for a refund demonstrating exceptional circumstances.  Students may mail or email an Appeal along with any applicable documentation.
