Offset Policy
This policy applies only to courses in which you have registered and for which you have paid all fees.
During the Late Payment period for such a course, you may drop the course and add another of equal credits and receive an OFFSET of fees providing:
- Both courses have the same Late Payment period.
- You inform the Student Enrollment Services Office of your request to OFFSET fees before the end of the Late Payment period for the course.
Online registration will NOT automatically OFFSET fees. Failure to inform the Student Enrollment Services Office may VOID the OFFSET and result in penalties.
