Withdrawing from Your Course

If you wish to withdraw from a course, complete a withdrawal form. Policies on withdrawal depend on whether you are a UNC-Chapel Hill degree-seeking student. If you are not a UNC-Chapel Hill degree-seeking student, you may withdraw at any time prior to taking the final exam. There is no academic penalty for withdrawing prior to taking the final exam for a course.

UNC-Chapel Hill degree-seeking students may not withdraw from a course if they have completed at least one-half of the assignments for the course. If you do not complete your course within the maximum permissible time and have not received permission to withdraw from the course, you will receive a failing grade. There is no academic penalty if you withdraw before completing one-half of the assignments.

Refunds

Partial refunds of tuition will be granted providing that your request to withdraw is made within 30 days of your enrollment date. No refunds will be made after that period. Failure to submit assignments does not entitle you to a refund. A nonrefundable fee of $25 per credit hour will be deducted from your refund. Full refunds may be granted in instances in which Higher Grounds is unable to supply a required textbook. If you paid for foreign air mail postage, up to the full amount may be refunded, depending on the number of assignments submitted.
