Dropping Classes

For a full refund: you must officially drop your class(es) on or before July 8, 2008 by 5:00 PM. Full tuition is charged after that date; there are no exceptions to the drop policy.  To drop a class, you should login to Oasis and reopen your registration screen.  Next to your course selections, there is a spot to select “Drop.”  Select “Drop” and then click on submit and your class will be officially dropped.

Please note that non-attendance is not considered an official drop. Students who register but do not attend class will receive a failing grade.

Due to the intensive nature of the program, attendance at all class sessions is a must. Illness or family emergency are the only acceptable reasons for missing class.
