After the 2/3 point in a course, a "WP" (Withdrew Passing) or "WF" (Withdrew Failing) form will need to be completed and recorded for the student history.
Failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal. Failure to use proper withdrawal procedures will result in an "F" (Fail) grade on the student history and no refund will be issued.

Where a course or workshop is 20 hours or less in duration, a full refund will be issued only if an official withdrawal is received on or before the business day prior to the date of the first class.
