Drops, Cancellations, Refunds, and Tuition Waivers

Noncredit Courses

A student may drop a noncredit course only by submitting a Noncredit Change of Status form.

• If a student drops a course before the first day of instruction, there is an 80% refund of course costs if our office receives the Noncredit Change of Status form by 5 p.m. (CST) the day before the class starts.
• When a student drops a course (using the Noncredit Change of Status form) after a class has begun, there is no refund.
• In online courses that are not semester-based and may start any time, a student who submits a Noncredit Change of Status form within two weeks of the enrollment confirmation e-mail from us receives an 80% refund of course costs; there is no refund for dropping a course after that point.
• If an academic unit or OCE cancels a noncredit course, all registered students will receive a full (100%) refund.
• The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign DOES NOT accept ANY tuition and fee waivers as a form of payment in noncredit programs.
