Admissions and Records Updates
Last Day to Drop Summer Classes
Students often ask how long they have to add or drop a class after summer classes begin. The rule is that a class may be added or dropped with eligibility for a refund up until 10% of class meetings have taken place. You may drop a class with no "W" on your record until 30% of class meetings have occurred and drop with a "W" up until 75% of class meetings have occurred. Call the Admissions Office at (925) 439-2181, ext. 7500 for the add and drop dates for specific classes; or contact the Cashier's Office for the last date to drop a class with a refund.
