Students registering for GIS courses after 08/24/08 will have 6 months to complete their course.

Withdrawing from a GIS course

You may withdraw from a GIS course at any time before taking the final examination with no prejudice to your academic record. A withdrawal request form is included in the printed Study Guide or online course materials. You may also use the Withdrawal form located on the Academic Outreach Web site. Once you have requested to withdraw from a course, you cannot be reinstated. You must fill out a new enrollment form and pay the full course tuition and fees to enroll in the course again.

Not Completing a GIS course

If you do not complete the course requirements by the end the nine-month course completion period, your enrollment will expire and you will be dropped from the course. The course will be removed from your University of Illinois transcript if you do not finish it. Your tuition and fees will not be refunded.
