| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Full-Term Class | A class spanning the full semester (16 weeks for fall/spring or 12 weeks for summer). |
| Part-Term Class | A class that takes place for 6-8 weeks during the fall, spring, or summer semester. |
The midpoint in the fall or spring semester, a point at which an exam is typically
given.

| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Dropping a Class | Discontinuing enrollment in a particular class but remaining enrolled in at least one or more classes during the term. Dropping a course only results in a refund if the class is dropped by the last day to drop a class for that semester. See the academic calendar. |
| Last Day to Add / Drop a Class | The last day for students to add a class without needing additional signatures and approval to do so. This is also the last day to drop a full-term class for a 100% refund and for the class to not be posted on a transcript. |
| Last Day to Request S / U Grading | Grades of S or U rather than the traditional grades of A through F are used by the University under regulations specified. A grade of S grants credit toward graduation but does not affect a student’s grade point average except as outlined below in item number 4. A grade of U also does not affect the grade point average and does not grant credit toward graduation. |
| Last Day to Withdraw for Refund % | The deadline for students to cancel registration in all of their classes and be eligible for a refund. Withdrawals result in a 100%, 75%, 50%, or 0% refund of tuition and fees depending on the date of the withdrawal form submission. |
| Withdrawal | The term for when a student cancels their registration in all classes and discontinues their studies for the semester. |
Times at which classes are typically scheduled. UND has Monday/Wednesday/Friday and Tuesday/Thursday classes.
