Audit ‐ Prior approval (signature) of the course instructor and advisor (if applicable) is necessary to audit a course.
Deadlines ‐ Add/Drop/Audit/Withdrawal deadlines are published in the School of Medicine and Dentistry Academic Calendar. Courses added after the deadline will result in a $300 late charge to the student’s account. Courses dropped after the deadline will be reflected on the official transcript with a W grade.
Refunds ‐ For credit courses, tuition is adjusted according to the annual refunds schedule. Tuition refunds for audits are not given once classes start.
Tuition Reimbursements and Tuition Benefits Waivers for University of Rochester Faculty and Staff ‐ UR employees should note that dropping, withdrawing from or failing a course could result in financial responsibility. Tuition benefits information for University employees can be obtained through the Benefits Office. Students receiving tuition reimbursement benefits from other companies or organizations should confirm their responsibilities as well.
