Drop Policy

Only course tuition fees are refundable. Registration fees, certificate and award application fees and special requests are non-refundable.

A $40 processing fee will be withheld for all requests. All requests made by students must be received in writing at least seven calendar days before a class begins. If we do not receive the request in that time period, no refund will be granted. However, you may still request to be withdrawn from the course. Some UCSC Extension programs require more advanced notice for drops and a larger amount is forfeited when a drop is granted.

Requests are honored only when submitted by email at drops@ucsc-extension.edu.

All drops granted by UCSC Extension due to cancellation or discontinuation will be made in full. Special programs often require deposits. It is the responsibility of the student to comply with the financial obligations, deadlines and refund policies established and published for these programs. Application fees are not refundable. All refunds are put on account toward future enrollments, unless otherwise requested.

For questions concerning Refunds, please phone (408) 861-3700.
