Types of Courses

These include hybrid (mostly online with some in-person sessions), completely-online, Flex Track (work at your own pace online to meet a series of deadlines), and Fast Track (self-paced online course).
Dropping or Adding Courses
To drop or add a course, you should fill out a drop/add form available from the SON Registrar's Office or for an online course, email the registrar at andrea_chamberlain@urmc.rochester.edu. Please note:
- Courses must be dropped prior to the second class session in order to receive a 100 percent course refund. See the School of Nursing's refund schedule. This is true even if you have University tuition benefits. There are no refunds on Online Prerequisite Fast Track Courses.
- Courses added after the first day of classes require instructor's signature (on the Drop/Add form).
- Courses dropped after the drop/add deadline will appear on the official transcript as "withdrawn failing" or "withdrawn passing."
- Courses dropped after the withdrawal deadline will be recorded as "E."
Information for UR Employees
For University tuition benefits policies and forms, visit the tuition benefits homepage. The tuition waiver form alone does not register you for a course; you must still complete the Non-Matriculated Registration form. Courses covered under the University of Rochester's tuition benefits package must be completed with a satisfactory grade in order for the course to be paid for by the University.
Courses that are not dropped prior to the first day of classes will be paid for by the student according to the University's refund schedule.
In addition, taking an incomplete in a course will result in the course not being paid for until the course is complete - late fees and account holds may result. UR tuition benefits are limited to courses completed within six months after the end of the course.
Please note: If you are utilizing tuition benefits for graduate or non-credit courses, your courses may be taxable. Please visit the Taxability of Employee Tuition Benefits webpage for information to help you determine whether graduate tuition assistance benefits are taxable and how much tax will be withheld from your paycheck.
