Please be aware of University policies regarding adding/dropping courses. Deadlines are slightly different for weeknight and weekend classes, so refer to the appropriate section below.

Fax Version of Course Withdrawal Form (fax to 267.468.8565)

WEEKNIGHT CLASSES

You will receive a full refund for a dropped weeknight (or weekday) class only if you drop your course BEFORE the third class meeting. You must submit the official Withdrawal Form to the RAQA Office before the course meets a third time. If you do not officially drop the class before the third meeting, you are financially responsible for the full amount of tuition, even though you will receive a 'W' (withdraw) for the course.

Please do not assume that you are dropped from a course simply by not attending. Once you are officially registered, you remain on the class list until the RAQA Office drops your registration. It is your responsibility to forward the Course Withdrawal Form (available above) to the RAQA Office, not your instructor's. The date on the fax or on-line submission will serve as proof of when the form was received by the RAQA Office. It is your proof that you dropped the course by the proper date.

Before you register for a class, please consider whether you will be able to finish it.  In the past, some students have left positions midway through the semester and found they are no longer eligible for tuition reimbursement from their former company. Temple University's withdrawal policy is still the same in these circumstances: students are responsible for all tuition after attending the first two meetings of a weeknight/weekday class. 

The third meeting of a weeknight or weekday course is defined as the third meeting date that is listed on the official Schedule of Classes. There are no exceptions to the Drop Policy, even if a student registers for a course on the second or third meeting date, since recordings are provided as needed.

WEEKEND CLASSES:

You will receive a full refund for a dropped weekend class only if you submit the official Course Withdrawal Form to the RAQA Office before the course meets a second time. If you do not officially drop the class before the second meeting, you will be financially responsible for the full amount of tuition, even though you will receive a 'W' (withdrawal) for the course. Please do not assume that you are dropped from a class simply by not attending. Once you are officially registered, you remain on the class list until the RAQA Office processes a withdrawal form. It is your responsibility to forward the Course Withdrawal Form (available above) to the RAQA Office, not your instructor's. The date on the fax or on-line submission will serve as proof of when the form was received by the RAQA Office. It is your proof that you dropped the course by the proper date.

DEADLINE for COURSE REGISTRATION

You should register for RAQA courses before the semester begins. If you register after the first class meeting, late fees may be imposed, which cannot be reversed.  Please register early.
