• DROPPING A CLASS: 

To drop a class, fill out a Drop Form. Your new tuition amount will be reflected in the next billing cycle on the 1st day of the NEXT calendar month. Drop requests MUST be completed before the first of the month in order for bookkeeping to recognize the change. Otherwise, you are responsible for full tuition until the end of the month in which the form is received.
