How do I drop a Columbia Summer Class and can I get my money back?
How do I drop a summer Columbia class?
If you are dropping a Columbia Summer class but not all of your summer CU classes, you may drop via Vergil. If Vergil does not cooperate, please reach out to sps-summeradvising@columbia.edu and your class dean.
What are the deadlines to drop a summer class and receive a full tuition refund?
Summer A Session
June 2 is the deadline to drop a summer session A class and receive a full refund.
You may drop a summer session A as late as June 23, but you will be responsible for tuition and fees.
Full-Term Summer Session (Summer X)
June 2 is the deadline to drop a summer session X class and receive a full refund.
You may drop a summer session X class as late as July 21, but you will be responsible for tuition and fees.
Summer B Session
July 11 is the deadline to drop a summer session B class and receive a full refund.
You may drop a summer session B class from your schedule as late as August 4, but you will be responsible for tuition and fees.
This information is also available on the CU Summer Session website.
Can I take my summer class for PDF grading?
In theory, yes, but because Columbia summer courses are considered transfer credit, you will only be able to transfer your Columbia summer courses to Barnard if you take them for a letter grade and earn at least a C-.If, knowing all that, you still want to take a Columbia summer class p/d/f, the deadline to change your grading option for Summer A courses is June 23. For Summer B courses it is August 4. For Summer X courses it is July 21.
I want to drop all of my summer classes (even if all=1); how do I do that?
In order to drop all of your CU summer courses, thereby withdrawing from the summer term entirely:
- Consult with your Barnard Class Dean
- Barnard Class Dean signs Approval to Withdraw form.
- Student fills out Summer Non-SPS Withdrawal Request Student Form and uploads signed approval.
- Student receives confirmation from sps-summeradvising@
columbia.edu approximately 3–4 weeks after submission, once the withdrawal is finalized. Students should continue to watch Vergil and SSOL to see adjustments to their schedule and account details.
Please refer to the CU Summer Academic Calendar and to this page, which includes more details about refunds and drop and withdrawal processes. If you have questions about your refund, please reach out to sps-summeradvising@columbia.edu if you have any questions at all.
This information and forms are also available on the CU Summer Session website.
I heard that this takes three weeks to process! Should I be concerned?
Refunds, drops and transcript notations should be based on the date of form submission, not the date the form is processed -- please be in touch with the Columbia Summer School (sps-summeradvising@columbia.edu) with any questions.
Additional reason not to worry: Unlike summer 2021, this year as in all previous years, Columbia Summer courses are considered transfer credit, so only completed CU summer courses that you pass with at least a C- and for which you have also submitted an approved Summer Course Approval Form will appear on your Barnard transcript.
