A 100% refund of tuition will be generated if cancellation is requested by the deadline. The easiest way to cancel registration is via Student Self-Service using Class Registration to web drop that single Winter class.

If you make no payment, and drop your Winter class on or after the first day of instruction for the session, you are liable for the full amount of tuition originally assessed less applicable refunds.

You can drop your only winter class through the Student Self-Service application.  Select Student Services and under the Registration section, select Class Registration then Register for Classes.
