To withdraw from a course after the appropriate date listed in the Calendar, the formal withdrawal process is required, as well as meeting other CSUN policies to avoid an academic/grade penalty for the course. Any student who does not formally withdraw from a course will still be liable for any outstanding payments and academic performance requirements until there is a formal written withdrawal.
Please note:
- The student, not the instructor, is responsible for dropping classes.
- Nonattendance does not constitute a withdrawal.
- Stopping payment on a check for tuition and other fees does not constitute a request for refund.
See CSUN Admissions & Records Enrollment Requirements for more information on Administrative and Student Initiated, including medical withdrawals.
See Refunds for the refund policy and timeline.
