College Opportunity Fund (COF)

If you are an in-state undergraduate student and you withdraw before the drop deadline (the third Wednesday after the first day of classes in fall or spring terms), your College Opportunity Fund (COF) authorized hours will not be deducted from your 145 lifetime hours.
