How do I drop a summer Barnard class?
If you are dropping a Barnard Summer class but not all of your summer Barnard classes, you may drop via SSOL.
How do I withdraw from or elect the p/d/f option in a Barnard summer class?
Email registrar@barnard.edu on or before the posted deadlines to request this change.
What if I want to drop all of my Barnard summer classes (even if all = 1)?
SSOL won't allow you to just drop all of the classes for a term (even if "all" is just one class). In that case, email registrar@barnard.edu and ask that they please drop all of your summer Barnard classes for you.
I tried to drop my Columbia Summer class using this process, but it won't work!
This process is only for Barnard summer courses. For Columbia summer courses, please follow the Columbia process
Will I get a refund? How much? Until when?

If you are dropping a Columbia Summer class but not all of your summer CU classes, you may drop via SSOL. If SSOL does not cooperate, please fill out this Registration Adjustment Form and reach out to your Class Dean, who will need to sign it and can submit it.
What are the deadlines to drop a summer class and receive a full tuition refund?
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 spsadvising@columbia.edu if you have any questions at all.
Can I take a Columbia summer class pass/D/fail?
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 19. For Summer B courses it is July 31. For Summer X courses it is July 17.
I need to drop all of the CU summer classes in a summer term (even if all = 1)
Please note that Columbia refers to this as "withdrawing": this means withdrawing from the term; it does not necessarily mean that you will have a W on your transcript; that is governed by the Academic Calendar.
In order to drop all of your CU summer courses, thereby withdrawing from the summer term entirely:
- Consult with your Class Dean
- The Class Dean signs the Advisor Approval Form
- Student fills out Summer 2024 Withdrawal Request Form for Non-SPS Students and uploads signed Advisor Approval Form
- Student receives confirmation from sps-summeradvising@
columbia.edu
I heard that this takes three weeks to process! Should I be concerned?
Refunds, Ws, or other 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@columbia.edu) with any questions.
