It sounds like a miscommunication between you and the school about the rules for dropping. At most schools, once you register for classes you owe for them unless *you *drop the classes before a certain date. Every school will have different rules for how this works, but at most schools, you will owe for class if you do not withdraw from it.

For instance, at my daughter’s school, the deadline for paying for a class was the 15th of the month after the class started, 3-4 weeks after class started (some schools will have earlier payment dates). But the deadline for dropping and owing $0 on a class was a week after class started and they had a 2nd deadline a week later to drop and owe 50% of the class. If she did not drop by one of these dates, she would owe 100% of the class whether she ever attended it or not. This will vary by school, but the bottom line is, once you register for a class, it is almost always your responsibility to drop it by a certain deadline if you do not want to pay for it.

You can try talking to the school. I hope they can figure something out.
