High School Classes

In order to receive a refund, students must withdraw in writing at least two weeks before a course begins. Withdrawals are subject to a $25.00 non‐refundable processing fee.

Refunds will not be issued for withdrawals within two weeks of a course start date.

Contact: Email refund requests to summerprogram@smapdx.org.

The deadline to drop a class with no transcript consequences is three weeks from the start of the course.

The deadline to drop with a W on the transcript is July 26, 2022. Any student who withdraws after three weeks from the start of the course (but by July 26) would only have the W mark on their transcript and therefore receive no GPA consequences. A withdrawal mark only shows that a student withdrew but does not factor into their GPA.

Courses cannot be dropped after July 26, 2022. All students still enrolled in the course as of July 26, 2022 will receive the grade earned in the course on their transcript, and this will factor into their GPA.

Contact: Email the Registrar (liz.olsen@smapdx.org) and the class instructor to withdraw from a class after the start of the course.
