We totally understand that there are many reasons you may need to make a change to your class schedule. You have the ability to make changes to your schedule up until the second Friday after the semester begins and get a full refund. You can also add a different class at the same time if you need to.

If you are receiving Financial Aid in any form we recommend talking with a Financial Aid advisor as well as your academic advisor prior to making changes to your schedule. Many financial aid packages require that a certain number of credits (full-time status is considered 12 credits) are met in order to receive the full payout amount. Falling below this credit requirement can result in financial consequences.

To add/drop a class (go to UAOnline) If you are unsure about how to add/drop classes your academic advisor is happy to help walk you through this process.

Please check with the official academic calendar to get the extact dates/deadlines for all things releated to add/drop/withdrawals.

DROP- can only drop a class up to the first two weeks of the semester, you can get a full refund for any dropped classes.

WITHDRAW- after the add/drop deadline all dropped classes are considered a withdrawal. Your transcript will include a (W) and you are still required to pay for this course in full.
