Questions and Answers Regarding Nonattendance and Dropping Classes
Important Information!

If I don’t attend a summer class, do I get a tuition refund?

No. If you are enrolled in a summer course(s) and you do not attend your classes, you will be charged 100% tuition and fees unless you drop the course(s) before the sub-term begins or during the “schedule change period”. See Tuition Assessment: Course Cancellation/Add/Drop/Withdrawal by Sub-Term.

If you are not going to attend your summer classes then you need to drop them using the RAMweb system. If you know that you will not be attending Summer Session, drop your course(s) before the sub-terms begin or during the “schedule change period” so that you will not be assessed tuition and fees.

What if I forget when classes begin?

It is your responsibility to know when classes begin. You can print your summer class schedule from RAMweb.

In the 4-week term, why do I have only three days to drop courses without a “W” on my transcript?

Because the 4-week term is very condensed, you have to drop the courses within a certain number of class hours, which happens to be within the first three days. It's the same number of class hours as the regular 16-week semester but because the 4-week term is condensed, the drop deadline is short.

The Summer Session course drop deadlines and the course withdrawal deadlines differ significantly from Fall and Spring Semester drop and withdrawal deadlines. Each summer sub-term has its own schedule change period and course withdrawal period. Please refer to Tuition Assessment: Course Cancellation/Add/Drop/Withdrawal by Sub-term . If you have questions, please call the Registrar’s Office at (970) 491-7148.

What if I have an emergency?

If it is clear to you that you will not be able to attend classes before the sub-term begins, drop the classes immediately. If your classes have already begun, you may drop them online through RAMweb, until the end of the “schedule change period” deadline with no assessment. After the “schedule change period” deadline, you may withdraw online until the end of the course withdrawal period, but you will be assessed 100% tuition and fees and a “W” will appear on your transcript. If an emergency makes it physically impossible to drop courses or complete a course withdrawal, contact the Registrar’s Office (970-491-7148).
