Students who withdraw prior to the first day of classes shall receive a full refund of all payments except tuition deposits. In certain cases there is value in advising students to register for a course in order to permit them to test their interest or to evaluate overall course load for the semester. To make this possible without financial loss to the student, a course may be dropped with full tuition refund during the designated time for adding new courses, with the recommendation of the academic advisor and approval of the respective graduate program director.
