Dropping a Class

Once a course is dropped, the refund schedule applies. This is true even if the student's intention is to swap the dropped class for another class.

The following does not constitute an official drop, nor do such actions diminish your financial obligation to CSUN for the Open University or the Advancing Student Achievement Program:

• Stopping payment
• Not attending class
• Merely notifying the instructor

Refunds

• No refunds will be given after the third week.
• If a refund is due, resulting in a credit on your CSUN account, you will automatically receive a refund.
• For credit card transactions, a credit will appear on your credit card account. Payments made by check, electronic check, money order or cash will be refunded in the form of a check.
• Refunds are not based on the date a student stops attending class. Refunds are calculated based on the date that the student drops a class online or drops a class by submitting the completed Late Change in Academic Schedule form to the appropriate office.
