Finance CenterCancellation of Enrollment Tuition Refund Policy |
How to drop, withdraw, or cancel enrollment.
Students who cancel their enrollment (cancel all courses and become disenrolled from WSU) after the semester has started will be charged an administrative fee of 5 percent of the assessed tuition and mandatory fees, but no more than $100, in addition to other amounts owing. Tuition and fees will be refunded in full if students officially withdraw from the University prior to the sixth day of classes during a semester. Students who cancel their enrollment after the semester has started will have those charges reduced based upon the week of cancellation, as follows:
| Fall and Spring Tuition Refund Schedule | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week Cancelled | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10+ |
| Percent of Tuition Refunded | 100 | 80 | 80 | 70 | 60 | 60 | 50 | 50 | 40 | 0 |
Weeks during which the University is on vacation for the entire week do not count in this adjustment schedule (e.g., Thanksgiving Break, Spring Break). Adjustments or refunds for students who receive financial aid will be computed on a modified schedule provided by the WSU Office of Student Financial Aid.

Appeal for Exception
Students who wish to appeal for exception to academic calendar deadlines (e.g. dropping a flexible enrollment course after the 30th day of enrollment during fall semester) because of an extraordinary circumstance that can be documented must file a petition ( Undergraduate Student Petition Form; select "Petitions"). When submitting the form for DDP course petitions, mail to DDP (WSU DDP, PO Box 5220, Pullman, WA 99164-5220), NOT to the address on the form. Multiple courses can be included on one petition, and a $10 petition filing fee per petition will be charged to the student's account. If tuition is refunded, $25 per course will be deducted from the tuition amount refunded; if the petition is denied, no refund will be processed.
Highlight
Important Change: Beginning this fall, a 2.5% convenience fee will be charged on credit card payments for tuition, fees, and course-related expenses on student accounts. Visa will no longer be accepted. Find out more.
