Refund and Withdrawal Schedule
Tuition Refund Schedule
The Western New England University refund policy is based on the fact that the university makes commitments in advance to our teaching staff and others who provide vital services to students and the institution. Each student's enrollment may have prevented another student from registering for a course or may have kept WNE from canceling a course with low enrollment. WNE must cover the costs of these services to all its students.
Financial aid recipients, please note:
Federal and state aid is awarded and disbursed based on the assumption that a student will attend courses for the entire semester and is therefore eligible for the entire amount of the disbursement. When a student withdraws before 60% of the semester is completed, the University is required, under Federal law, to recalculate federal and/or state financial aid and return unearned funds to the appropriate agency. The calculation is based on the number of days the student was enrolled for the semester. For example, a student who completes only 20% of the semester will keep only 20% of his or her federal and/or state funds. The remaining 80% will be returned to the appropriate source. WNE institutional funds will be refunded at the same rate as the tuition refund policy.
Fees are non-refundable and tuition payments are not transferable.
