Dropping a Class
Once a course is dropped, the refund schedule applies. This is true even if the
student's intention is to swap the dropped class for another class.
The following does not constitute an official drop, nor do such actions diminish
your financial obligation to CSUN for the Open University Program:
- Stopping payment
- Not attending class
- Merely notifying the instructor
Refunds
Once registration has been processed for Open University, full refunds will not
be available.
- 65% of the fees collected will not be refunded until the end of the third
week of the semester.
- No refunds will be given after the third week.
- If a refund is due, resulting in a credit on your CSUN account, you will automatically
receive a refund.
- For credit card transactions, a credit will appear on your credit card account.
Payments made by check, electronic check, money order or cash will be refunded in
the form of a check.
- Refunds are not based on the date a student stops attending class. Refunds are calculated
based on the date that the student drops a class online or drops a class by submitting
the completed Late Change in Academic Schedule form to the appropriate office.
