Tuition Adjustments and Refunds
Students are able to drop their enrollments in Workday self-service up until the Friday before courses begin. You do not need a drop code from a course instructor in the summer.
After the Friday before a course begins, students must email the Summer School with their request to drop a course. Please be sure written requests are submitted from the student via the student’s Brandeis University email account. The schedule of tuition and course fee adjustments are detailed here.Adjustment and Refund Schedule
- A full tuition adjustment/refund will be provided if a request to withdraw from a class is received prior to the first day of instruction for the respective session.

Anyone who becomes academically ineligible will be administratively withdrawn and will receive a 100% adjustment of tuition and fees.
