Dropping or Switching a Course

Dropping a course you have enrolled into through Open University, must be done officially through EIP Student Services. If you do not officially drop, your grade will result in a WU (unauthorized withdrawal) which is equal to a failing grade.
Contact EIP Student Services by phone at (657) 278-2611 or at EIPConnect@fullerton.edu to request a drop.
There is also an early drop period within the start of the term where you need to contact EIP Student Services by phone at (657) 278-2611 or at EIPConnect@fullerton.edu to request a drop. Refer to the Important Dates and Deadlines for the term you are enrolled.
During the Late Withdrawal Period for the term you are enrolled, complete the Request for Late Withdrawal Process online by the deadlines designated. If approved, a W grade is issued.
There is a time period within each term, where you may switch a course for a designated fee. Refer to Important Dates and Deadlines for the term you are enrolled.

Refund Policy

Refunds are based on the date the drop request is received and processed by EIP Student Services.

Not attending a class, notifying the instructor, stopping payment on a check/credit card or failure to redeem a check that was returned for non-sufficient funds does not constitute officially dropping the course, or release you from the financial obligation to pay the course fees. Dropping the course does not dismiss the financial obligation to pay the course fees.

If courses were paid with a credit card, refunds will be processed back to the credit card within 7–10 business days. If paid by cash or money order, a refund check will be mailed to the address on file within two weeks. If payment was made by check, a refund will be mailed within 4–6 weeks from the date the check was received by our office. Important Note: The 2.65% convenience fee charged for payments made with credit/debit cards is not refundable and will be withheld from the refund total.

SPRING and FALL SEMESTER REFUND POLICY:

If your drop request is received before the first day of the semester, you will receive a full refund minus $10 per course.
If your drop request is received on after the start of the semester, but within the early early enrollment/drop period, you will receive a refund of 65%. No approvals are required and there will be no record of enrollment.
If your drop request is received during the late withdrawal period ("W" grade) through the designated late enrollment date, you will receive a refund of 65%.
During the late withdrawal period, drops are only allowed for serious and compelling reasons. An approved Withdrawal Petition completed at Late Withdrawal Process is required and no refunds are given.

Campus-Wide Identification Number (CWID)

Students receive a Campus-Wide Identification Number (CWID) when they first enroll. Your CWID will be used in place of your Social Security number to identify all your records. You will also need your CWID the first time you log into the CSUF Student Portal. If you lose your CWID, go to the “What’s My CWID?” Opens in new window page of the Student Portal.

The PIN is a password that students use the first time they log into the Student Portal. The first time you register for a class with EIP, you will receive a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by email. Use this number in combination with your student ID to customize your account the first time you log onto the Student Portal.

The Student Portal provides access to your confidential information (where you can look up grades, units, classes taken, etc.). EIP students who lose or misplace a PIN may go to the “What’s My Registration PIN?” Opens in new window page of the Student Portal.
