Cancellations/Drops/Refunds

Cancellations

The $100 registration deposit will be refunded for continuing and re-entry students if you notify the Registrar's Office in writing that you are canceling your registration prior to the scheduled cancellation deadline dates.  First semester new freshman and new transfer students may have their $100 Enrollment Deposit refunded only if they notify Admissions office in writing prior to May 1 (prior to the start of the fall term) and November 15 (prior to the start of spring term).

If you notify the university after the start of the semester that you will not be attending UWSP, you will be considered a withdrawal. See the additional information under WITHDRAWAL below.

Course Drops

The refund schedule below applies to course drops. Keep in mind, however, that any refund or assessment of additional fees will be based on the net result of the credits you add and/or drop in relation to the appropriate refund period. In other words, whether you are entitled to a refund or will be billed for additional fees will depend on the date you drop credits as well as the "begin and end" dates of the course. WARNING!! Dropping and adding courses may increase your cost. Dropped courses after the 100% refund period are included in the total credits used for fee calculation. Courses dropped and added after this period do not offset each other for cost purposes; therefore, your semester cost may increase.

Special Course fees:  Some courses require additional fees to cover the cost of materials and services beyond those usually provided.  These fees are charged in addition to the tuition cost.  Special course fees are non-refundable after the first week of class.

Withdrawals

*To withdraw from the university, a student must report to the Registration Office, 101 Student Service Building to initiate the withdrawal procedure.  Appeals of effective withdrawal dates should be directed to the Student Academic Advising Center, 103 Student Services Building.

All students withdrawing from the university within the first two weeks will be assessed a forfeiture of their $100 registration deposit.  SPECIAL NOTE TO FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS WHO WITHDRAW: You may be required to repay all or a portion of the aid received and/or forfeit your financial aid eligibility. Contact the Financial Aid Office for details.
