It’s important to know the academic and financial consequences before you drop or
withdraw from a course.
Contact your Academic Advisor or Financial Aid Advisor to determine any potential
academic consequences.
Contact Student Financial Services to determine any potential tuition refund amounts.

| After the Census Date |
- Refund of tuition and fees is 25% to 0% - Based on duration of course and date of withdrawal (See Refund chart) - Must occur prior to 'last date for withdrawal' for term or weekend course - Course appears on transcript with a grade or 'W' for withdrawal. |
Important Information:
- It is the responsibility of the student to drop any classes they do not wish to attend.
- Only courses dropped prior to the first day of the term or weekend course will be credited at 100%.
- Courses dropped on or after the first day of the term (beginning at 12:01 a.m.) will receive tuition and fee credits of less than 100%, per the State mandated refund rules.
- Any tuition and fee reductions due to drop or withdrawal activity which result in a credit (negative) balance on the student account would then be eligible for Collin’s refund process.
- Dropping or withdrawing from a class may change financial aid eligibility and/or academic standing. It may also affect visa status for international students and eligibility requirements for student athletes.
