Payment
Registration opens approximately four weeks before the first class session of the quarter. As soon as a student registers for classes, an invoice will be provided, specifying the tuition and fees due for the quarter and the date when payment is due, which will be three business days before the first day of the quarter. A late charge will occur if tuition payment is overdue. Each payment made will be applied to the oldest outstanding obligation.
Refunds
Prior to midnight of the fifth day of the term you have the right to cancel your enrollment in a course in which you are enrolled for that term, and to receive a full refund of the tuition amount paid for that course. Materials fees and lab fees are not refundable. If you withdraw from a class after the fifth day of term (1st week) you will receive a refund as shown in the refund table below.

For example: Three students are enrolled in the 5-credit MATH 200 course commencing Monday January 4, 2021. Each student pays the $500 course tuition cost and the $75 course materials fee. Therefore, each student has paid $575 for the course.
Student A submits a course drop form prior to midnight on Friday January 8, 2021. Student A is refunded the $500 tuition cost. The $75 materials fee is not refunded. Although the student is no longer participating in the course, the student is provided with access to the materials for the four week term.
Student B submits a course drop form Monday January 11, 2021. Student B is refunded $350 (70%) of the tuition cost. The $75 materials fee is not refunded. Although the student is no longer participating in the course, the student is provided with access to the materials for the four week term.
Student C submits a course drop form Tuesday January 26, 2021. Student C is refunded $0 (0%) of the tuition cost. The $75 materials fee is not refunded. Although the student is no longer participating in the course, the student is provided with access to the materials until the end of the four week term.
To cancel your enrollment in a course you must submit a course drop request to the Registrar’s Office. You understand that you are responsible for knowing class drop deadlines and for all requests to drop classes. Non-attendance does not constitute a drop. Dropping or withdrawing from a course may affect your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standing as defined in the University Catalog.
The University reserves the right to cancel or terminate this Enrollment Agreement or to deny admission if you fail to meet the University’s academic requirements, meet Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined in the University Catalog, or fail to make timely payments. Students who are withdrawn from a course or courses for disciplinary reasons forfeit the right to a refund of any portion of their tuition.
Optional Services
The University provides optional services such as providing copies of Official Transcripts and Diploma Re-prints. Once ordered, these fees are non-refundable.
Loans and Payment Arrangements
3-Installment Payment Schedule
Rather than paying for each quarter before it starts, students have the option of splitting the quarter's total tuition and fees into three equal monthly installments. To select this option, notifiy the business office (businessoffice@washtechu.org). There are no special requirements.
Payment Arrangement
Students who demonstrate finanical hardship may qualify for a Payment Arrangement. Students with the Payment Arrangement pay half of their tuition while enrolled at WTU, and half of their tuition once they graduate or otherwise separate from the University. All students may apply for this arrangement. Details are available from the Business Manager (businessoffice@washtechu.org).
