For full refund consideration, your request must be received 72 hours prior to the first course start time. If you withdraw from the course within the first week, you will be eligible to receive a 75% refund. Refunds are not given for courses with 3 or fewer sessions, with the exception of the above 72 hour refund request policy. Please note that there are some courses with different refund policies.

In the event you would like to transfer from your registered course to another course or section, please contact the WDCE office. Your transfer will be granted on the condition there is availability in the requested course or section. Tuition paid will be transferred from the course you wish to drop to the class you wish to add. Should the tuition of the new course be higher, the balance will be due at the time of transfer. If the tuition is less, you will be issued a refund of the difference.
