More information on Academic Calendar dates
- “Last Day to Withdraw without submitting a Late Withdrawal Appeal” – Dates which fall outside of normal business days, for example Saturday/Sunday (spring and fall terms) and Friday/Saturday/Sunday (summer term) will be given a one-day grace period to the next business day without penalty. Students must call or email Student Registration Services to initiate the withdraw (emails must be sent from dupage.edu account to registration@cod.edu).
- Session End Dates include finals week for regular 16-week and 12-week sessions.
- Refund dates for classes are found on the Student Schedule in myACCESS for students. To view your schedule, log into the portal at inside.cod.edu. After logging in, click on myACCESS for Students then select “Academic Profile” from the drop-down menu, then select “My Class Schedule.” Select the current term.
- The refund policy is as follows:
- 100% refund of tuition and fees will be granted during the first 7% of the number of calendar days in the session based on the start date of the class.
- 50% refund of tuition and fees will only be granted during the first 8-12% of the number of calendar days in the session based on the start date of the class.
- Dropping a course during a refund period will not result in a "W" grade. Refund dates are rounded down (Ex: 3.85 days = 3 days; 4.12 days = 4 days).
