Charges for a dropped/swapped (drop and enroll simultaneously) class will be owed to the university for an unpaid dropped class based on the dates in the Charge Table for Unpaid Open University Tuition Fees. Students can owe either 25% or 100% of their fees for dropped courses based on the periods below. Students who have a Financial Hold in their student record will not be able to swap or add courses until they have paid all fees, including any incurred charges from dropping a course(s).

Paid fees will transfer for a dropped/swapped (drop and enroll simultaneously) class based on the dates in the Transfer Table for Paid Open University Tuition Fees. Note that a permission number is required from the teacher to enroll in a course once it has begun. During the 75% Transfer of Paid Feesperiod, 75% of the amount paid for a dropped class can be transferred to the new class. The remaining 25% is non-refundable and non-transferable. Students who have a Financial Hold in their student record will not be able to swap or add courses until they have paid all fees they owe, including any incurred charges from dropping a course(s).

Before swapping one class for another students receiving subsidies must have approval on file with the Subsidy Specialist (subsidy@sfsu.edu) for the class they want to add.

Refunds Table for Open University Paid Tuition Fees

The same table applies for removing of tuition fee charges. Payment processing service charges are not refundable. A refund check is mailed to the address listed on the student’s account. Allow three to four weeks on average for refund check processing. According to California State University (CSU) regulations, credit card accounts cannot be credited.

See Open University sessions information in Calendar & Deadlinesfor deadlines. Students may withdraw from courses after the Drop Deadline and receive a grade of "W" by securing the approval signature of the instructor and the department chair and/or college dean on a withdrawal petition. (Note: failure to attend does not cause students to be dropped from a course.) Do not put a stop payment on a check to drop or withdraw from a course. This results in a financial obligation to SF State for the course fee, plus an additional $20 charge. Failure to withdraw officially from a course generates a failing grade of "F" or "WU".
