Please refer to the Tuition Information page at http://catalog.biola.edu/general-information/financial-information/ to understand your tuition charges and how dropping a class may or may not generate a refund according to the schedules below. Undergraduate students with 12-18 credits are assessed a flat tuition amount; if you drop a class and your credit load remains in that range, no refund will be generated. For undergraduate students below 12 credits or above 18 credits, or non-undergraduate students, tuition is charged per credit, and the refund schedules below reflect the refund that would be assessed depending on which week of the term a course is dropped.
Keep in mind that dropping classes can affect your enrollment status, which may have an effect on your financial aid eligibility. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information.
