Current term withdrawal refund policy (Academic Regulation 70)

“Current term withdrawal” is defined as dropping or withdrawing from all WSU classes in a specific term—including WSU Online courses.

Tuition, operating, and student services and activities fees will be refunded in full, minus a 5% administrative fee, if you officially cancel your enrollment (withdraw from all WSU classes) prior to the sixth day of classes of the semester.
