- Note on course drop deadlines: "Census day" is the deadline to drop full semester classes. Note that many of our courses are half-length, ending halfway through the semester or beginning halfway into it. For instance, in fall, these courses typically conclude or start in mid-October, and in spring the change occurs in mid-March. For these courses the deadline to drop the course and receive a tuition refund is usually a day or two after the first class. Thus, the deadline for dropping courses may be more than week before the official Census Date usually mentioned in communications from the University. To find what the last day to withdraw with tuition credit is for a specific course, please visit the Online Class Schedule.
