Course Cancellation Policy

Courses that are not guaranteed are subject to cancellation based on enrollment.  Normally, 100-200 level courses with fewer than 10 and 300-400 level courses with fewer than 7 students will be cancelled.  In order to meet the needs of as many students as possible, courses will be cancelled in accordance with the following procedure: at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, May 20th for the first term and Friday, June 24th for the second term, two lists of courses, "Cancelled Courses" and "Courses Subject to Cancellation," will be posted on the Summer Session web page and in the Summer Session and Registrar's Offices.  Students can also call the Summer Session office (464-7319) to check on the status of a course.

Cancelled Courses 

100 - 200 level courses with enrollments of 6 or fewer students as of the registration deadline for each session
300 - 400 level courses with enrollments of 4 or fewer students as of the registration deadline for each session

A student enrolled in a course that has been cancelled who does not wish to add a course need do nothing further.  The Bursar will credit their account or process a refund.  Students who have paid for room and board or registered a car and wish to drop out of the Summer Session should report to the Summer Session Office.  Students who wish to add, drop, or change a course may do so in the Summer Session Office, 320 Cocke Hall, at the times listed above. 

Courses Subject to Cancellation 

100 - 200 level courses with enrollments of 7 - 9 students as of the registration deadline for each session
300 - 400 level courses with enrollments of 5 - 6 students as of the registration deadline for each session

If late registrants push enrollments of these courses to acceptable levels by 3:30 p.m. on the first day of classes (21 May and 25 June), they will be offered.  Otherwise, they will be cancelled (check the web site and in the Summer Session or Registrar's Offices, for "Final Course Cancellations").  Students who do not wish to add or drop a course need do nothing further.  The Bursar will credit their account or process a refund. Students who have paid for room and board or registered a car and wish to drop out of the Summer Session should report to the Summer Session Office.
