Dropping Classes at Marshall University
After the late registration/schedule adjustment period for a term closes, a student must completely withdraw from all registered courses in order to receive any refund of tuition and fees. The University does not refund tuition and fees for individual classes dropped after the late registration/schedule adjustment period ends.
The late registration/schedule adjustment period is defined as the first week of classes in the Fall and Spring semesters, and typically the first day of classes for each summer session.
