Course Drop & Refund Policy
Failure to withdraw from a course in which one is officially registered but does not complete will result in a grade of F or No Credit. If you need to drop a class, you may do so via your myCSUB account, in-person, email, fax or mail through the Extended Education office, (661) 654-2441. If the course is cancelled for any reason, student will receive a 100% refund.
