Dropping/Adding, Withdrawing, and Refunds
The College of Pharmacy Regulatory Affairs Graduate Education Program has strict policies about dropping, adding, withdrawing or receiving tuition or program fee refunds. Before registering for any RA courses please familiarize yourself with the policies. It is important that you also review the University’s policies for drop/add and withdraw at the UGA Registrar’s Office web site.
1) Drop a class
Drop/Add - You may drop one, some, or all of your classes via OASIS through the last day of Drop/Add for the term (or the last day of drop/add for the related session during the summer term). See the UGA Academic Calendar for the Drop/Add and withdraw schedules.
2) Add a class
After receiving clearance from the RA office, you may add a class via OASIS during the Drop/Add schedule. You must receive clearance from the RA office in order to sign up for any RA class. Additional tuition and fees may apply.
3) Withdrawal from a course
It is not possible to drop a class after the Drop/Add period is over, instead you must "withdraw" from the class by selecting the withdraw option on the main menu in OASIS. Withdrawals after the Drop/Add period will result in course entries on your academic record with grades of 'W' or 'WF' as assigned by your instructor(s). See the UGA Academic Calendar for the Drop/Add, withdraw schedules.
Important note: There is no refund for individual course withdrawals.
4) Withdrawal from all courses
Withdraw from all classes requires that the student formally withdraw from the university. Withdrawals without penalty may not be assigned after the midpoint withdrawal deadline of a term unless approved for health or emergency reasons by the Office of Student Affairs,
