University Refund Policy — Complete and Partial Withdrawals
A student who believes his/her situation requires an exception to the refund policy must submit a Petition for Exception to Tuition
Refund Policy for Dropping Courses for consideration by the Tuition Refund Board of Appeals.
Stude
nts are eligible for refunds as defined in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
To
be considered for a tuition refund, students must drop their class(es) in one of two ways based on whether the deadline has passed:
1. Prio
r to the last day to withdraw, the student can drop their courses in the myWSU portal.
2. After the deadline to withdraw, the student will need to contact their academic advisor.
Note: If a hold exists, this may pr ohibit the student’s ability to dr op cour se(s) and the student will need to resolve the hold or
contact Accounts Receivable.
Stude
nts receiving federal financial aid will be subject to the refund regulations established by the federal government. Contact the
Office of Financial Aid for details.
This
petition is for tuition, student fees and course related fees. Mandatory fees, late fees and the $130.00 down-payment of the
payment plan are not refundable.
