WWU Withdrawal and/ or Residential Housing Staus Change

A student who withdraws during the refund period will receive a refund to their student account according to the following policy. All refunds will be calculated from the date of the application for withdrawal. Non-attendance of class does not constitute official withdrawal. This refund policy applies to both full- and part-time students. Refund of traditional tuition is according to the following schedule:

  1. On or before the last day of the 1st business week of the semester – 100%.

  2. On or before the last day of the 2nd business week of the semester – 75%.

  3. On or before the last day of the 3rd business week of the semester – 50%.

  4. On or before the last day of the 4th business week of the semester – 25%.

  5. After the 4th business week of the semester – No Refund

Fees such as the technology fee, activity fee, health services fee, and course fees are non-refundable after the first business week of the academic semester. Refund of room and board is on a pro-rated basis on a 16-week semester if withdrawal occurs within the refund period.

Institutional financial aid will be adjusted accordingly. (Ex: If a student withdraws during the first business week of the academic semester and 100% of the tuition is removed from the student account, then 100% of the institutional financial aid will be removed as well).

Tuition charges for full-time students who drop to part-time status during the institutional refund period, but do not withdraw, will be prorated. Proration will be based on the current full-time tuition charge and divided by 15 hours of study. This will determine a per credit hour rate charge. Full-time institutional aid will be canceled if a student drops to part-time during the refund period. Federal aid will be adjusted accordingly. Tuition for students who drop to part-time status after the refund period will not be prorated.
