You’ll use academic calendars to find things like:
- The last day to add a class to your schedule
- The last to day drop a class to be eligible for a refund or credit against outstanding fees*
- The last day to petition for pass/no pass grading
- And, many other important dates you need to know.
Be sure to bookmark this page and put the dates important to you in your calendar!
(One important note: To find deadline dates for fast track / short term classes that last less than 18 weeks, you’ll need to check InSite.)
Registration fees are due at the time of registration. If you decide not to take a course, you will need to drop the course by the last day to be eligible or for a credit on your account to remove outstanding fees. If you do not drop the class by the deadline, you will be responsible for all outstanding fees even if you don’t complete the course.
