Important: After the [Final Study List Deadline](/node/1536), there are no tuition reductions for withdrawn courses. Courses dropped after the deadline are considered “withdrawn.” They will show with a “W” on your transcript, and will count towards your tuition charges.
Please note:
- For Engineering Grad, GSB, SLS, and SoM students; as well as students on an approved Special Registration Status: **Waitlisted courses** count toward your tuition assessment.
