Cancellation of Enrollment Agreement

A student may cancel the Enrollment Agreement without any financial penalty prior to the end of the add/drop period. Later cancellations should follow the university’s refund policy.  Any tuition payment will be refunded to the student within a 45-day period following his/her cancellation notice.

• An applicant who has not visited the school prior to enrolment may cancel without penalty by requesting cancellation within three business days following either the regularly scheduled orientation procedures or following a tour of the school facilities and inspection of equipment where training and services are provided.

• An applicant requesting cancellation within three days after signing an enrolment agreement and making an initial payment is entitled to a refund of all monies paid by the applicant.

• An applicant requesting cancellation more than three days after signing an enrolment agreement and making an initial payment, but prior to entering the school, is entitled to a refund of all monies paid minus a registration fee of 15% of the contract price of the program, but in no event may the school retain more than $150.

 

Withdrawal from the University

WUST utilizes add/drop period, therefore, per SCHEV policy, a student who withdraws during the add/drop period shall be entitled to 100% tuition refund.

​

To initiate the withdrawal process, although not required per ACCSC standards, we still recommend student submit Withdrawal Form in order to determine exact date of withdrawal.  Students may download the form from our website or obtain a hard copy from the Registrar’s Office or the Office of Student Services.
