WALDEN CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
The university refunds tuition and fees according to these policies and in accordance with applicable
federal regulations. Students receiving federal financial assistance will have funds returned to the
appropriate lending agencies in accordance with applicable federal guidelines. Federal aid that may have
been awarded to students may be adjusted by reducing, reallocating returning funds to federal
programs if disbursement has already occurred.
Course-Based Programs:
Dropping Courses
Students who drop courses during the drop/add period will receive an account credit. Students may request
a refund of any resulting credit balance on their student account by submitting an e-mail request
The withdrawal date for federal financial aid purposes is not the same as the withdrawal date processed
by the Office of the Registrar to determine tuition adjustments. Federal student aid may not cover all
charges due to the university that result from the return of funds upon the student’s withdrawal, and
students may owe a balance to Walden.
Prior to withdrawing or making any enrollment changes, students should contact the Office of Financial Aid
to determine if the change will result in a return of funds and to understand the financial options to get back
on track for future terms.
Tuition Refunds
Tuition reductions are applied to the current term and may not be retroactively applied for any reason (see
also Tuition Reduction Benefits). Students should review their current billing statement to ensure that their
tuition reduction has been applied appropriately. If students have any questions, they should contact their
enrollment specialist.
Refunds resulting from a student’s withdrawal from courses and/or the university are based upon the
effective withdrawal date (as confirmed by the Office of the Registrar). Residency fees are nonrefundable
after 10 calendar days before the residency start date.
