• If a course is cancelled by the University, a full refund will be issued automatically.

Adding or Dropping Courses
To add or drop a course, complete an Add/Drop Form or submit your request in writing to summer@gallaudet.edu.  Add/Drop forms can be picked up in the Hall Memorial Building, room S141. There is a $5 fee for each add or drop transaction (unless a department has made the decision to change your course). Failure to formally drop a course will result in a final grade of "F." No changes may be made after the first day of class.

Withdrawing From Courses
To withdraw from a course (either before or after you have arrived at Gallaudet) submit your request in writing or complete a Withdrawal Form. The Form can picked up in Hall Memorial Building, S141.

A phone call alone is not sufficient and a student is not considered officially withdrawn until a written request has been received. Online students may send email to drop or withdraw from classes. You may withdraw from a course up until the last day of class.

Email or fax your written withdrawal to:
summer@gallaudet.edu
(202) 651-5987 (Fax)
Responsibility for following these procedures rests with the student. Failure to withdraw formally from a course will result in a final grade of “F.”

Returned Check Fee
$50. A fee will be charged when a check is returned for non-payment. Payment must then be made by money order or credit card.

Parking
