Add, Drop, Withdrawal And Refund Deadlines
The Registrar's Office strictly adheres to all published dates and deadlines, and the policies associated with them.
- Refund dates are as stated below, regardless of the date of the first class meeting
- Not attending classes or simply notifying the instructor that you plan to withdraw from a class does not constitute official withdrawal from a course. All applicable fees will be assessed.
- If you cannot drop a course via MyBentley because you have a hold on your account, please contact the Registrar's Office immediately via phone, email, fax or in person. Your drop will be processed as of the date that your request is received. Lack of access to the add/drop forms on MyBentley is NOT a valid reason for failing to meet a deadline.
Full-time Undergraduate Students Only: Refunds only apply to students registered for less than 12 credits in the Fall or Spring semesters.
