FALL 2027 Updated: 11/5/2026 deciding to drop a course. Dates for our most common terms are listed in Important Deadlines & Dates. Students are responsible to know and adhere to the Census and Drop dates of each class they enroll in. Withdrawals: The Registrar’s Office must be notified if a student decides to withdraw from all courses at all six South Dakota public universities. Self-Service Banner will not allow a student to drop all classes for a term, so it is essential that the Registrar’s Office is notified to ensure proper processing. The student will be emailed a link to an online Withdrawal Form. The student’s official withdrawal date will be the date the Registrar’s Office is notified that a student is not returning. A student may not withdraw if it is past the Drop date of any enrolled class. Eligibility for a refund will be determined upon the withdrawal date. Room contracts and meal plans will be refunded based on the unused portion of the charges. Refunds will be calculated through 60% of the semester. Withdrawals prior to the start of the term are considered cancellations and nothing appears on the transcript. Withdrawals after the start of the term through census date will result in a notation on the transcript. If a student withdraws after the census date, through the 70% point of the term, all classes will appear on the transcript with WW grades. Refunds: Refunds for financial aid recipients will be returned to aid programs first as required by federal regulations. Any remaining funds will be returned to the student. If the aid repayment results in a balance due, the student will be responsible to remit that amount to the University. Refunds will be processed approximately the week before classes start for students who have completed attendance confirmation and then will pause until after census date. Following census date, refunds will be processed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students are encouraged to sign up to receive refunds through direct deposit to their checking or savings account. Administrative Withdrawal Students may be administratively withdrawn from Northern State University for disciplinary reasons, or for failure to meet financial obligations. In all cases, the Registrar will be responsible for carrying out the withdrawal. The effective date of withdrawal for disciplinary reasons or failure to meet financial obligations will be the date the withdrawal is processed. The withdrawal date will determine any refund based on the refund schedule in effect for the term in question.
