The DLC Drop Policy

The DLC works with multiple online course providers, each of which has its own course registration system and drop policies. However, in order to help streamline registration management for you, the DLC employs an umbrella DLC Drop Policy on all registrations and drop requests submitted via the DLC registration system. This drop policy has been written to be as fair as possible to you and your students and reads:

Drop requests submitted to the DLC:

  • Prior to the online course's start date will not be assessed any drop fees.
  • Within the first 10 school days of an online course's start date will be assessed a drop fee of 25% of the course cost. See note below about Univ. of Washington Extension courses.
  • After the first 10 school days of an online course's start date will be assessed a drop fee of 100% of the course cost.

Reimbursement of the cost of materials for a dropped course is subject to the return policies of the providers and is not guaranteed.
