Dropping Courses
Please note, if you drop a course prior to Day 10 of the semester and become part-time, your tuition and fees will adjust according to the semester tuition and fee rates for the part-time credit level. If you drop a course after Day 10, and receive a “W” in the course, you are still financially responsible for the course. No tuition and fee refunds will be issued.
Withdrawing from UConn
It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the withdrawal process; non-attendance or non-payment does not constitute an official withdrawal or relieve financial obligations. No adjustments are made after the eighth week of classes. Withdrawal adjustments to the fee bill apply only to refundable tuition and fees. For questions related to housing or meal plan charges, please contact Residential Life or Dining Services directly.
Students seeking to fully withdraw from the University for any reason must work with the appropriate campus offices to complete the withdrawal process. No withdrawal adjustments are made unless these procedures are followed.
- Storrs Undergraduate & Undergraduate Non-Degree Students – Dean of Students Office
- Regional Undergraduate & Undergraduate Non-Degree Students – Office of Student Services at respective regional campus
- Graduate & Graduate Non-Degree Students – The Graduate School

Summer/Winter Intersession Withdrawal Tuition & Fee Adjustment Policy
A full tuition and fee adjustment will be issued if a class is dropped by the last posted day to drop for a given summer/winter session, less the non-refundable summer/winter enrollment fee (currently $65 for non-degree students and $45 for matriculated UConn students).
There will be no adjustments after the last posted day to drop for a given session. Final drop dates for all summer and winter sessions are posted on the Summer Session website and the Winter Session website.
Please note that withdrawal from a class may affect your summer or winter financial aid status.
It is your responsibility to initiate withdrawal from a summer or winter class. Non-attendance at classes or non-payment of fees does not constitute a withdrawal or relieve you of your financial obligation.
UConn Health Withdrawal Tuition & Fee Adjustment Policy
UConn Health has a specific withdrawal adjustment policy that is different from Storrs and the regional campuses. For details on this policy, contact the School of Medicine or School of Dental Medicine.
Students who withdraw from UConn SOM and SODM during an academic term will receive a tuition adjustment based on the institutional schedule. All students who separate from UConn Health Center Medical and Dental Schools are subject to the UCH Withdrawal Tuition and Fee Adjustment Policy. Tuition adjustments will be calculated based on the date that all requirements are completed to finalize the withdrawal.
