Dropping Classes and Withdrawing Classes
http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/registrar/
If you do not plan on attending, OFFICIALLY drop all classes. The college will not do it for you.
Your obligation for paying tuition and fees starts on the FIRST day of class for each semester, regardless of whether or not you have classes on that day.
If you withdraw from a course on or after the first day of the semester/session you will be accountable for tuition charges. This amount will be a certain percentage of the course tuition, depending on how much of the semester has elapsed. The longer you wait to withdraw, the less money you will get back.
Please see the academic calendar for the drop/withdrawal dates. All important dates regarding your academic and financial responsibilities for each semester are listed.
