If you elected the p/d/f option for a Barnard summer 2023 class, you may uncover that grade if you like.
The Uncover option for Barnard Summer 2023 classes will be available as soon as you see your final grade in SSOL. The deadline to uncover is the registration deadline for the fall semester: September 15, 2023.
Great! How?
If you are dropping a Columbia Summer class but not all of your summer CU classes, you may drop via SSOL. If SSOL does not cooperate, please fill out this Registration Adjustment Form and reach out to your Class Dean, who will need to sign it and can submit it.
What are the deadlines to drop a summer class and receive a full tuition refund?

You may drop a summer session A as late as June 19, but you will be responsible for tuition and fees.
Full-Term Summer Session (Summer X)
May 26 is the deadline to drop a summer session X class and receive a full refund.
You may drop a summer session X class as late as July 17, but you will be responsible for tuition and fees.

You may drop a summer session B class from your schedule as late as July 31, but you will be responsible for tuition and fees.
Can I take a Columbia summer class pass/D/fail?
In theory, yes, but because Columbia summer courses are considered transfer credit, you will only be able to transfer your Columbia summer courses to Barnard if you take them for a letter grade and earn at least a C-.
If, knowing all that, you still want to take a Columbia summer class p/d/f, the deadline to change your grading option for Summer A courses is June 19. For Summer B courses it is July 31. For Summer X courses it is July 17.
I need to drop all of my CU summer classes (even if all = 1)
Please note that Columbia refers to this as "withdrawing": this means withdrawing from the term; it does not necessarily mean that you will have a W on your transcript; that is governed by the Academic Calendar.
In order to drop all of your CU summer courses, thereby withdrawing from the summer term entirely:
Please refer to the CU Summer Academic Calendar and to this page, which includes more details about refunds and drop and withdrawal processes. If you have questions about your refund, please reach out to spsadvising@columbia.edu if you have any questions at all.
I heard that this takes three weeks to process! Should I be concerned?
Refunds, Ws, or other transcript notations should be based on the date of form submission, not the date the form is processed -- please be in touch with the Columbia Summer School (sps@columbia.edu) with any questions.
Additional reason not to worry: Unlike summer 2021, this year as in all previous years, Columbia Summer courses are considered transfer credit, so only completed CU summer courses that you pass with at least a C- and for which you have also submitted an approved Summer Course Approval Form will appear on your Barnard transcript.
How do I drop a summer Barnard class?
If you are dropping a Barmard Summer class but not all of your summer Barnard classes, you may drop via SSOL.
How do I withdraw from or elect the p/d/f option in a Barnard summer class?
Email registrar@barnard.edu on or before the posted deadlines to request this change.
What if I want to drop all of my Barnard summer classes (even if all = 1)?
SSOL won't allow you to just drop all of the classes for a term (even if "all" is just one class). In that case, email registrar@barnard.edu and ask that they please drop all of your summer Barnard classes for you.
I tried to drop my Columbia Summer class using this process, but it won't work!
This process is only for Barnard summer courses. For Columbia summer courses, please follow the Columbia process
Will I get a refund? How much? Until when?
Please refer to the Academic Calendar for these and other important deadlines (and consider adding the academic calendar to your gBear calendar!). Most notably:
Friday, May 26 Last day to drop a Summer A course for a full refund
Monday, June 19 Last day to withdraw from a Summer A course
