* A Change of Registration fee is assessed for any number of add, drop or change transactions (including change of grading option) made during a given day beginning the first day of the Late Add Period for adds or the first day of the Unrestricted Drop Period. The fee is a service charge and is in addition to any change in tuition or forfeiture as a result of adds, drops or changes. If you think your change is necessitated by a University error or is at the University’s request, you must pay the fee and submit a petition to the Registration Office. The fee will be refunded only if the change is necessitated by a University error or is at the University’s request.
