There are no academic penalties associated with not finishing a course on MITx Online. If you cannot complete a course, you have several options.
- If you are enrolled in the audit track of a course, you can simply stop taking the course. There is no need to unenroll.
- If you paid for the verified track of a course, you can unenroll and get a refund if you unenroll within the refund eligibility period. After the refund eligibility period has passed, you can still unenroll from the course, but you do not get a refund.

- You can change to another available session of the course.
- You can leave your session and wait until a session that works for you becomes available.
