Course Drops and Withdrawals

Students in Distance Learning Programs, please refer to MyOnline.bradley.edu for the policies and deadlines specific to your program.

January & May Interims

For courses that meet during the interim periods, full tuition will be refunded for classes dropped on or before the first day of the term. A 50% refund is available for a class dropped within three days of the interim period. No refunds will be available for classes dropped four days after the interim begins.

*Partial Drops (Fall and Spring Semester)

If you drop one or more classes (reduction in hours), but remain registered for at least one course, the full tuition will be refunded for full and half semester classes dropped by the end of the second week of classes for the semester, ending September 6, 2024 for fall and February 7, 2025 for spring. There are no refunds for a class dropped after these dates, regardless of when the course begins. Course fees are not refundable.

Complete Withdrawal From The University

When a student withdraws from all classes, after completing registration, but before the official beginning day of University classes (August 21, 2024 or January 22, 2025), a full refund less a registration fee of $50 will be made for first semester freshmen and part-time students. All other full-time students will be charged a registration fee of $100.

Dropping all classes is considered a complete withdrawal from the University. If a full-time student decides to withdraw from the University, the student must contact Student Services. Appropriate documentation (Official Student Withdrawal Form) will be completed with that office. This documentation is provided to the following offices: Controller’s Office, Registrar’s Office and the Financial Assistance Office.
