The last day to drop with a refund is determined by the length of the course and the first day the class meets. This policy applies to both credit and non-credit courses. No refunds will be given for drops or withdrawals after the posted dates.
Dropped Courses - Dropped courses are eligible for a 100% tuition refund if dropped on or prior to the 100% Tuition Refund date listed for your course length below. If the student drops from all of his/her classes during the 100% refund period, the technology fee and consumable fees will be refunded.

Courses are not officially dropped until the necessary forms have been completed and returned to the Office of Student Affairs. After the first week of the regular semester, students must receive the permission of the instructor to add a course.
Unfortunately, a few colleges will not give you a refund or credit towards tuition if you drop a class during the add/drop period. However, you will likely get a partial refund if you drop a course during the add/drop period.
Students may drop a course with no record on the transcript, or may add a course in the first week of the regular (16-week) semester. Courses are not officially dropped until the necessary forms have been completed and returned to the Office of Student Affairs.
From the end of the second week to the end of the week marking the completion of 75% of the course, a student may withdraw from a course online using MyIvy or by filing a change of enrollment form at the Registrar's Office.

“A withdrawal will be on the transcripts but does not affect GPA.” Croskey also noted that there aren't any limits to how many classes one can drop because they don't go on the transcript. Withdrawals though are limited and can look bad if there are too many on a student's transcript.
Failing Courses If the student fails the course again, he/she cannot be certified for a third time for the course. If this occurs, the repeated course will not be included in the student's total number of credit hours enrolled that is reported to the VA for that semester.
When a student drops a course from their schedule, the course is completely erased from the student's class schedule. Dropped courses do not appear on the student's official academic record (which includes their academic transcript) and do not incur tuition and fee charges.
Sadly, in academia, there's also the word “Withdraw.” Withdrawing means you drop a class after the allowed add/drop period ends. You won't receive a grade for the class, but a “W” will show up on your transcript, indicating that you were not doing well in the course and essentially quit the class.

College financial aid disbursement typically takes place sometime between 10 days before and 30 days after classes start.
However, the cost for those classes will be set, which means a refund check for FAFSA can be disbursed. Usually the disbursement period for refunds is about three to four weeks into the semester, yet certain schools may have a particular timeframe that they follow.
Ivy Tech has partnered with BankMobile Disbursements to deliver your financial aid refund.
Before you drop or add a class, make sure you understand the rules. Your timing makes all the difference when it comes to whether or not you’re hit with extra fees or a bad grade. Your status as an undergraduate, graduate, or professional student will also determine the steps you take and the potential effect of a change in your schedule.
Dropping or adding classes can affect your financial aid, scholarship status, or tuition cost. If you do decide to drop or add a class, be sure to talk with your academic advisor or faculty chair first. If you’re worried about what will happen with your finances, contact the Office of Student Financial Services.
