Please note that as an International Student, you must enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 units to maintain your valid F-1 status. One online class of up to 3 units of online classes can count toward your full-time enrollment.

All students are responsible and obligated to adhere to the rules for dropping a class. If you do not drop the course(s) by the refund deadline you will be responsible for the fees and a hold will be placed on your records, even if you do not go to class. The hold will remain until all fees are paid. The hold prevents you from enrolling in future terms and restricts access to services such as transcripts, enrollment verification, issuing diplomas, etc.
