Wisconsin
Students in the state of Wisconsin will have tuition refunded using the University Institutional Refund Policy with the following exceptions:
- Students have the right to cancel enrollment until midnight of the third business day after receipt of notice of acceptance and are entitled to a full refund of any tuition and other monies paid such as deposits or application fees. Refunds for cancellation will be paid within 10 days.
- If the University cancels or discontinues a course or educational program stated in the Enrollment Agreement, the university will refund all monies paid for that course or program.
- Students who withdraw before completing 60% of the session are entitled to partial refunds, prorated in accordance with Wisconsin state policies. The pro-rata refund is calculated by the number of class days remaining in the session after the last day completed, divided by the total number of class-days, rounded down to the nearest 10%. The pro rata refund percentage will be applied to tuition and other required costs paid by the student for the session. A one-time application fee of $100 may be assessed.
