Drop/Withdraw from a Course
Drop
YEAR-LONG: A student may drop his or her course within the first three weeks of enrollment. You may use the Online Drop Form or download the Drop Form and send it to CDE. A full refund of tuition and materials costs MINUS a $15 processing fee will be refunded if the student drops and returns all materials in perfect condition within this time period. A course dropped within 60 days of registration will not appear on the student's transcript.
SEMESTER-BASED: Students must drop within the specified time-period that applies to on-campus courses. All UAF policies regarding adding and dropping apply to semester-based courses, the same as any other semester-based campus course.
Withdrawal
YEAR-LONG: A student may withdraw from a course through the last day of the year-long term if he or she completes a Drop/Add/Withdrawal form.
After 60 days and before 7 months, a grade of “W,� withdrawal, will be given which will not affect the grade point average and is non-punitive. Withdrawal after the seventh month (late withdrawal) may be possible, but additional paper-work and signatures may be required. No refunds will be given after the 60-day time period.
UA students who have registered in an Independent Learning semester-based course as part of their full-time course load will have to abide by the regular semester policies and procedures regarding withdrawal and refunds. See the UAF Catalog at the current UAF schedule for dates and refunds for semester-based courses.
Complete the drop/withdrawal form and return any books/materials for which you wish a refund. This option is not available to semester-based students. Semester-based students must withdraw through the campus where they registered for the course.
This form is also available in pdf format.
