HELP!! I added a summer class in the wrong session by mistake, past drop deadline?

Let me begin by saying I’m from a different UC campus. I recently added a class that belongs to the wrong summer session (Summer Session A, 1st 6 weeks) when I wanted to add a class that belongs Summer Session D, 2nd 6 weeks. I didn’t notice this until I get an email from the professor, giving me assignments that are labelled “assignment 7,8,9.”

I called the Summer Sessions phone number and the lady told me I had to withdraw from the class, and that I would not be refunded because it was past the deadline. This all sounds insane for me to add a class near when the term is over, never attending the class or completing the assignments, having to withdraw and still pay for everything… is there anything I can do??

After I told her I haven’t payed for the tuition or any fees yet because I added the class so recently, she said I’d be then charged a total of $500 ish, not having to pay for the class itself, but that this was a withdrawal fee of some sort… However, appearing on my portal it’s $1,900 total… and the tution & fees before I withdrew from the class was $1,600…

Has anybody heard of a similar situation or know of anything I can do? Can I even fight them on this? :\ Does anyone even have the power to just void this for me :frowning: please help

Their [url=<a href=“http://summer.berkeley.edu/registration/schedule%5Dwebsite%5B/url”>http://summer.berkeley.edu/registration/schedule]website[/url] says that students have until September to appeal for a refund. How long ago did you register for this class? What happened to the emails for assignments 1-6?

I added this class a few days ago, possibly on June 2nd or so. I did not get emails for assignment 1-6 because I enrolled while the session is halfway done, it started May 22 and ends on June 30.

So I do see that it says refund appeals will not be accepted after September 22nd, but I don’t know what that entails? All I see is that for Summer Session A, the Withdraw or Drop for Refund deadline was May 26, and I added after that so… I’m not sure what to do now.
