Important Information

• Students must satisfy all prerequisites to register for a course.
• For visiting students, completing a registration form does not necessarily confirm registration.
• Students who have a hold on their account will not be able to register. Please download the Registration Hold Information (pdf) and contact the appropriate office.
• No registrations or changes will be accepted after the add/drop deadline, May 17, 2024, 4:30 p.m. ET.

Students have several course options in the summer session. From enrolling in the 2-credit internship lab, to enrolling in two or three 4-credit courses.

Students may register for up to 12 credits in the summer session and are encouraged to consult with their Student Success Advisor to learn how their summer enrollment will impact their progress toward their degree.

Students may add and drop courses in Workday throughout the registration period in accordance with registration and add/drop dates.

For all add/drop requests, additional payment (if applicable) must be made and received prior to registration. All registration and add/drop requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The add/drop deadline for all summer courses is Friday, May 17, 2024, 4:30 p.m. ET.

Dropping the course before the add/drop deadline carries no academic or financial penalty. After that, if the course withdrawal occurs after the add/drop deadline and the 60 percent point of the academic period, the student will receive a grade of “W” for the course in progress at the time of withdrawal.

The course withdrawal deadline is Friday, June 21, 2024 at 4:30p.m. ET.

Students will receive a final grade of “W” for withdrawing from a course. Students should meet with their Student Success Advisor to withdraw from a course. Students who do not officially withdraw will receive a final grade for each applicable course and will be responsible for all applicable tuition and fee charges. Tuition and fees will be refunded on a prorated scale based upon the date of the withdrawal, with no refund to be awarded after the 60 percent point in the academic period.

Summer session tuition is based on the number of credits of each course.

For more information about tuition, financial aid, payment, and payment options, please contact Student Financial Services. Students receive billing notification to their Babson email address. Students may view their account through Workday (Finances).

For students who matriculated at Babson prior to September 2021, course credit earned during the summer session at Babson can be considered in requesting a tuition adjustment from the flat-rate tuition charge in a student’s senior year. Seniors who need less than a full course load to complete their degree requirements, and have completed previous summer credits at Babson, can request to reduce their course load and receive a tuition adjustment (up to a maximum of 8 credits, 4 credits per semester) in their seventh and/or eighth semester. Note this policy only applies to Babson students.
