IUP Refund Policy--PART III.
III. Individual Course Reduction An individual course reduction is a reduction in class load, including all courses in a given semester, but not total withdrawal from the university. Example: a student who registers for three courses and then withdraws/drops one or two classes but continues with the other class or classes. Individual course reductions are limited to five withdrawals during a student's academic career at IUP. Courses "dropped" during the official drop/add period are not considered to be an individual course withdrawal.

No fees will be charged to a student who drops a course(s) by the first day of classes. No reduction in fees will be made to full-time students who reduce their credit load after the first day of classes. Part-time students who reduce their credit load after the first day of classes and thereafter will receive a reduction in part-time fees in accordance with the following schedule:


                                  Percentage of Student's 

Withdrawal on a Weekly Basis      Fees to Be Forfeited

-------------------------------------------------------------

First through second weeks        10%

Third through fourth weeks        50%

Fifth through eighth weeks        75%

After eighth week                 NO reduction

Students should familiarize themselves with the financial aid penalties related to individual course reduction. No reduction will be granted to students who drop and add like number of credit hours. Reductions will be granted to students for individual course withdrawals during the summer session under the same basis as outlined under section IID. During fall and spring semesters, students totally withdrawing from the university should refer to section II, A-C.
