Hornet Fast Track is a new initiative at Sacramento State to offer accelerated, fully online courses for current and prospective Sac State students as well as members of the community.

Add and Drop Policy
Accelerated courses have unique add and drop deadlines compared to full-semester courses on campus, given the compressed schedule. These dates vary based on the start and end date of the course.
In order to avoid receiving a “W” grade, you must drop before the unique census date of an accelerated course (usually around 25% of the course elapsing from the start date.)
Cost
Fees for Hornet Fast Track are $320 per unit. Courses are self-support so are not covered as part of normal tuition or mandatory campus fees.
Fees are due
- 14 days after the course starts for current admitted students
- at the time of registration for all other students
Refunds

| Within first 25% of the course | 65% less $10 processing fee If you have not yet paid, then 65% of the course fees will be removed from your account. The remaining 35% must be paid. |
