What happens if I drop a class that requires a book?

Students can drop classes during the first 10 days of the semester without having any additional expense for the new course’s required ISBN course materials. Remember to return all course materials for your dropped courses within seven days to avoid non-returned charges.


Please remember – regardless of which of the two options you select to return your rental books it is required to be completed within seven days. If you do not return books by this deadline your Student ID account will be charged $25.00 per credit hour associated with the dropped or canceled class plus a $25.00 processing fee. For example: if you drop a four-credit class and don’t return materials within the seven-day deadline the Materials Not Returned fee would total $125.00. In addition, the outstanding materials not returned will need to be returned by 5pm on the last day of finals to avoid additional fees related to rentals not returned. Concordia College does not own the course materials that are included in the Achieve program, so Concordia College and the Cobber Bookstore are not able to make exceptions for students that do not follow the strict return deadlines.
