Drop & Refund Deadlines

  • Non-Impacted Courses: Students have until the end of the session to drop a non-impacted course. During the final two weeks of the course, students must submit a Summer Drop Request Form to UCLA Summer Sessions. After the session has ended, non-UCLA students must petition with the UCLA Summer Sessions office.

Refund Deadlines:
*Deadline depends on whether the course is impacted or non-impacted as well as duration.*

  • Impacted Courses & Summer Intensives (SIS): Friday of Week 1 of the course’s session. After Friday of Week 1, you are liable for the full cost of the course.
