General Information

Sections:

All students are required to pay their tuition and fees at the time of registration. Students may pay by cash, check or credit card. Students unable to pay in full must enroll in our convenient "Pay As You Go" payment plan. Students receiving financial aid (i.e., grants and loans) must enroll in the College's deferred payment plan. Direct links to these payment options are found in myACCESS. Students who are sponsored by their employer must now pay their tuition and fees first to the College, then obtain reimbursement from their employer per their individual benefit policies.

For Financial Aid questions, visit the Financial Aid website, call (630) 942-2251 or email financialaid@cod.edu. For other questions, please contact the Cashier's Office at (630) 942-2206, email cashiers@cod.edu.

Adding or Withdrawing from CREDIT Classes

Adding a course: A credit class may be added until the night before the first scheduled class meeting. The day in which the class begins, written permission from the instructor is required in order to register. CREDIT CLASSES CANNOT BE ADDED AFTER MID-TERM. A $25 Late Registration Fee will be charged on the day a registration transaction takes place for a class on or after its start date.

Withdrawing from a course: You may withdraw up until the "Last Day to Withdraw without Instructor Permit" (see the Registration Calendar) through myACCESS or in person at the Registration office, Student Services Center (SSC), Room 2221.

After the "Last Day to Withdraw without Instructor Permit" date (see the Registration Calendar), you may withdraw only with your instructor's written permission. The instructor's permission to withdraw must be brought or faxed to the Registration office. The registration fax number is (630) 790-3785. You will NOT be automatically withdrawn.

Medical Withdrawals: Requests for medical withdrawals should be made to the Dean of Enrollment Services. Send medical forms to Student Registration Services, SSC 2221, (630) 942-2687. Requests should be made in writing and accompanied by documentation from a physician or medical institution to verify the medical condition, date of onset and estimated length of treatment. Request forms for medical withdrawals are reviewed individually. Refunds are issued when appropriate within the guidelines of the College of DuPage refund policy. You will receive written notification of the decision within three (3) weeks from the office of the Student Registration Services.

Automated Prerequisite Checking
Before registering for any course with a listed prerequisite, students are expected to have met the prerequisite requirement(s) or be currently enrolled in the prerequisite course.

Auditing a Class
Intent to audit a credit class must be indicated at the time of registration and the higher audit tuition charge will be assessed. The audit grade of "X" is recorded on the permanent academic record: No credit is earned and the audit grade does not affect the grade point average (GPA).

No student will be assigned an audit grade for any class unless the above registration procedure is observed.

Late registration
After the first scheduled class meeting, you must obtain written permission from the instructor to register for a credit class. Registration online will no longer be available at this time. Credit classes cannot be added after mid-term (see Registration Calendar).

Adding or Withdrawing from NON-CREDIT Classes
You can register for classes up until the time the class begins. A 100 percent refund is given up to one (1) calendar day before the start of class. Please note that non-attendance does not count as a withdrawal.

Cancellation Policy
The College cannot guarantee that all the classes listed in the online or printed Class Schedule will be available when you register and reserves the right to cancel classes if there is insufficient enrollment. If your class is canceled, you may select another class or receive a full tuition refund.
