Changes in Schedule

Schedule Adjustment

OPEN students are expected to have few or no schedule adjustment needs because of the special approval and course selection process. Continuous schedule adjustment as outlined in the Enrollment Bulletin is available via OneStart for regular IU students but not to OPEN Program students. OPEN students must request changes through the OPEN Program Coordinator since they are admitted to classes by special permission. If it is necessary to drop, add, or change a section, contact the coordinator to discuss procedures.

Late Schedule Changes

A Late Schedule Change fee of $23.00 is assessed for each course dropped after the end of the 100% refund period. The Late Schedule Change fee also applies to a class number change, or a change of arranged hours.

Withdrawal

There is a process for withdrawing from a class(es). If for any reason a student is forced to withdraw from any course, call the OPEN Program Coordinator as soon as possible at (812) 855-5077 to begin appropriate procedures. We must complete the process for the OPEN Program students. Courses dropped after the first week of classes will be assigned a grade of W through the automatic withdrawal period; thereafter a grade of W or F must be assigned by the instructor. After this time, we expect withdrawals only in cases of emergency (such as extended illness or equivalent distress).

Please refer to the Office of the Bursar’s Web site at http://bursar.indiana.edu for the refund policy.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WITHDRAWAL—Failure to pay does not withdraw a student from classes. If a student does not request a cancellation of the registration through the OPEN Program Coordinator, there is a risk of receiving a grade of F in the course(s). The student will also be responsible for all course fees, plus any applicable late fees through the date the withdrawal is requested. The fee refund schedule as listed in the Enrollment Bulletin and the Office of the Bursar Web site will be used.
