Non-attendance or notifying the instructor does not constitute officially dropping or withdrawing from a course. All refunds are made by check and students can expect to receive refund checks approximately 2-3 weeks from the date the request is received. Students may also request to transfer into another section prior to the start date with no penalty. For courses of four or fewer class meetings, no refund will be issued after the first class meeting. Decision on withdrawals and refunds will be based on the date when written withdrawal notice is received by Extended Studies.
Requests received by mail are effective as of the postmark date.
If the obligation remains unpaid beyond the response period of a demand for payment, the student s name may be submitted to an outside collection agency or to the State Franchise Tax Board, which has the authority to withhold amounts owed to the university from any tax refund the student may have been otherwise entitled. Criminal charges may also be filed under the California Penal Code. Contact the Extended Studies office for details. Parking permits are included in the registration for Extended Studies classes. Permits can be picked up at the Parking Information Booth in Lot C on the first day of class.
