Notification to your academic advisor, undergraduate school or any other administrative office does not constitute withdrawal from study in Washington, D.C. status.
Any request to withdraw must come directly from you and include your name, student ID number, program location and date. You should also contact your academic advisor about the decision to return to WUSTL for the semester and ensure that all holds are removed from your account to register for classes.
If you receive any type of financial assistance, you must also notify Student Financial Services of the decision to return to WUSTL.
Be aware that the courses available to you for the semester may be limited due to the late date of your subsequent registration.
Students who must withdraw due to emergency or illness should contact Overseas Programs for assistance and instructions as soon as this is possible.
Students dismissed from the Semester in D.C. Program for academic, disciplinary or any other reason will forfeit WUSTL tuition charges, and are not entitled to a refund.
Students who withdraw prior to departure may be responsible for program costs incurred on their behalf by the university. WUSTL has no obligation to make a refund if you voluntarily or involuntarily withdraw on or after the program commencement date or if you leave the program before the concluding date. Unpaid fees will remain payable to WUSTL as posted to your student account. As required, program fees will be charged to your student account. The refund, if any, will be authorized and calculated on a case-by-case basis. Refunds are first applied as credit to any unpaid program fees posted to the WUSTL student account. Any remaining credit will be refunded by check according to policies and procedures set forth by Student Financial Services.
Withdrawal from the Semester in Washington, D.C. Program prior to these dates will result in limited financial or academic consequences.
Financial consequences would be limited to non-refundable application fees and deposits related to participation in the program.
Withdrawal after these dates will result in the loss of any non-refundable deposits or program fees paid by WUSTL on your behalf. Withdrawals after the registration dates for the following semester may lead to difficulty registering for classes.
Note: Washington University has no obligation to refund any portion of the program price and associated fees for withdrawals after the above-listed dates.
Example: If you withdraw from the Program after your place has been reserved but before the program start date, you will be responsible for any unrecoverable costs that have been paid by Washington University on your behalf.
