Drop and Fee Refund Policies

A course dropped on or before the census date will not remain on your academic record. A course dropped after census requires instructor and Department Chair approval, and will be recorded on your record with the appropriate grade. See the CSUSB Office of the Registrar webpage for grade details. Contact us at any time if you have questions.
