Students may drop a course at any time up to the Monday three weeks prior to the first day of the course. Drop requests are accepted in writing, by mail or in person. Simply not attending a course does not constitute a drop.

All drops are subject to a $50 drop fee per course to cover administrative costs incurred by Ox-Bow. This fee applies to all students, including those with work scholarships.

Refund Policy

Refunds can only be granted if drop requests are made three weeks prior to the beginning of the class. A signature is required for a refund. Refunds will be processed minus a $50 drop fee. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for the processing of refunds. In the event that Ox-Bow must cancel a course due to low enrollment or for any other reason, full refunds will be given.
