Refund of Fees

Whereas the recent increase in student fees has produced a shift in student drop patterns, and

Whereas this shift has been in the direction of dropping early in terms when a full refund is available, and

Whereas the first week or two, especially for unconfident or otherwise at risk students, is an insufficient amount of time for conclusive feedback such that students could determine their viability for courses,

Resolved that the Academic Senate direct the Executive Committee to propose a change in Title 5 regulations to change the refund deadline from its current single point to a declining percentage or a later date.
