  • Your Bright Futures will be billed for the classes dropped or withdrawn after the initial drop/add period.
  • The amount owed is based off the number of credits dropped for the term.
  • Classes dropped through the Academic Regulations Committee (ARC) Petition process do not exempt a student from repayment of Bright Futures.
  • It is your responsibility to monitor and pay the balance on your student account which may result from dropped classes or withdrawing from the term.
