Add courses and drop courses and receive a full refund
If you're fully enrolled, you can add or drop courses for a short period of time after the Official Course Start Date. Any courses dropped by the deadline will be fully refunded and there is no charge for adding courses to your enrolment within this timeframe.
Drop courses without a refund
The final date to drop courses with no refund (excluding PhD and Master's by Thesis-only students) is when approximately 75% of the teaching component of the course has been completed - see specific dates below for each semester code. Courses dropped by the specified date will not show on an Academic Transcript, will not receive a grade, and will not be eligible for a refund.
