Course and Credit Status Changes, Course Withdrawals
Once registered, students may add courses or change credit status without additional fees until the late registration deadline. They may withdraw from courses according to the schedule below. The amount of tuition refunded (if any) and the way that the withdrawn course is reflected on the student's permanent record depend on the date that the student's withdrawal is submitted online, postmarked, or dropped off at 51 Brattle Street. Students are advised to keep confirmations and copies of their paper and online forms and requests.
All requests to add courses, change credit status, and withdraw from courses must be submitted online or on paper. To submit changes on paper, students may use their registration confirmations, course change and withdrawal forms that are available at 51 Brattle Street, or they may submit their own clear and complete written requests. Forms may be downloaded from this website. (To download PDFs students must have Adobe's Acrobat Reader installed on their computers.) All requests must include full payment of any additional tuition and fees due. Students who do not receive confirmation of their changes or withdrawals within two weeks of their submission should call the Extension School.
