Change your mind on classes?

If you have registered for classes but have changed your mind about attending, it is your responsibility to inform the Registrar that you wish to cancel your registration. Otherwise, you are liable for any charges due on your student account.

Class Cancellation Guidelines: When you register as a student at UAS, you are agreeing to pay all charges on your student account when due, and acknowledge that the University may drop* or suspend registration for non-payment, and withhold a degree or official transcript if these charges are not paid. If your account is not paid by the due date, or no payment arrangements have been made, an institutional hold will be placed on your account.

*This is NOT a guarantee of being dropped; you must OFFICIALLY drop a course within the drop period to cancel financial responsibility for selected courses.
