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 course after the 30th day of enrollment during fall semester) because of an extraordinary circumstance that can be documented must file a petition. See Deadline Exceptions for the link to the Undergraduate Student Petition Form.

When submitting the form, 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.

Note: A $10 non-refundable processing fee will be charged to the student's account for filing the petition. 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.
