What is the Census date?
The Census date is the last day you can drop a class and receive a refund of any tuition you have paid for the class. Once the Census date has passed, you can still withdraw from a class, but you will still have to pay the tuition for the class. If you withdraw from a class after the census date and add another class, you will have to pay tuition for both classes. The Census date is based on the start date of the class, so it will be different for late-starting classes. Census dates for classes are listed in the Important Dates in the front of the schedule of classes each semester.
