SUMMER 2026 Updated: 5/12/2026 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, 2026 Refund 100% July 6 – August 7 Drop by July 8, 2026 Refund 100% June 1 – August 7 Drop by June 6, 2026 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. Return Check Policy It is understood and agreed that upon presentation of your check as the form of payment for any Northern State University transactions, you are entering into a contractual agreement that obligates you and holds you responsible for any and all fees and expenses incidental to the principal obligation on any check that is returned non-payable. 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. 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. Students are encouraged to sign up to receive refunds through direct deposit to their checking or savings account.
