When a student withdraws from the current term (previously referred to as "cancellation of enrollment"), the student may be entitled to an adjustment of all or part of their tuition. The policies for adjustments are described below. Note that the adjustment policy may change as a result of revisions to governmental regulations.
Students who withdraw from the current term after classes have started will be charged an administrative fee of 5 percent of the assessed tuition and mandatory fees, but no more than $100.00, in addition to other amounts owing. Tuition, operating, and student services and activities fees will be reversed if students officially withdraw from the University prior to the sixth day of classes during a semester. Students who withdraw from the current term after classes have started, will have those charges reduced based upon the week of cancellation as follows:
| Week | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 and later |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percent Reduction | 100 | 80 | 80 | 70 | 60 | 60 | 50 | 50 | 40 | 0 |
Week 1 is the first week of classes of the Fall and Spring semesters. Weeks during which the University is on vacation for the entire week do not count in this adjustment schedule. Adjustments for students who receive financial aid will be computed on a modified schedule provided by the WSU Office of Student Financial Services.
Tuition adjustments for classes whose length varies from the regular 15-week term will be a proration of the tuition adjustment schedule noted above.
Due to the complexity of tuition adjustment for summer session courses, students must contact the summer session office for the campus at which they are enrolled. In general, the amount of the adjustment depends on the dates of the courses. Withdrawal from the current term is not allowed if the student has completed any class during the session. Other policies may also exist that could impact the amount of the adjustment.
