Section Lab Fees
Requests for lab fees to be attached to course sections must be submitted to the Bursar and Academic Services Team no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday before registration begins for any term (except for fall quarter, when lab fees must be in place for all coursework before the First-Year Block Registration Process begins. Departments are strongly encouraged to submit lab fees for their course sections for the entire upcoming academic year at the end of the Annual Course Scheduling process every May.
If a department submits lab fees after registration has begun, the department will be responsible for:
- Emailing students to alert them that their bill will be updated to reflect a missing fee, and that they will be temporarily dropped from the course to facilitate this
- Orchestrating fee assessment with the Office of the Bursar
- Dropping and reregistering all students
- Alerting Drexel Central of the adjustment about to occur in case they field any inquiries about the issue

If a department identifies that a lab fee is missing from a course section after the add/drop period has ended in any given term, the department will absorb the unpaid fees, as students cannot incur unplanned additional charges once they can no longer drop a course.
