There is no refund for dropping individual classes unless dropped by census date of each class. Financial aid is calculated based on the combined enrollment for the entire summer semester and is disbursed at the beginning of the first term of enrollment. Any subsequent changes in enrollment may require a recalculation of financial aid already disbursed. All courses registered for the term are included in determination of financial aid eligibility and satisfactory academic progress. • Attendance confirmation is not required in summer. • To earn aid, you must start your classes. • Classes taken from other SD Board of Regents universities may have different start and end dates. Refunds Refunds for dropping a class while maintaining enrollments in other classes will be calculated as follows. CLASS LENGTH: June 1 – July 2 Drop by June 3, 2027 Refund 100% July 6 – August 6 Drop by July 8, 2027 Refund 100% June 1 – August 6 Drop by June 6, 2027 Refund 100% If classes do not follow these dates, refunds are calculated at 100% for drops within the first 10% of calendar days within the class period.

Returned checks, state surcharges, sales taxes and incidental fess may be debited from your account electronically or by way of paper draft. Withdrawals/Refunds Drops: Most summer classes are considered non-standard length classes. In order to receive a 100% refund for a nonstandard length class, the class must be dropped by 10% of the calendar days of the class (Census date). Students may drop individual classes via Self-Service Banner or by contacting the Registrar’s Office (Dacotah Hall 103) until 70% of the course has passed (Drop date). Courses dropped by Census date will not appear on the student transcript and will no longer be calculated in attempted credits. Courses dropped after Census date but by the Drop date will remain on the transcript and will receive a withdrawal grade. Undergraduate students receive WD grades for their first 6 individual drops. After the 6th a WFL grade is posted, which counts as an F. Zero credit courses and co-requisite labs will receive a W grade. Students should consider this when 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.

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. 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.
