Refund for Dropped Courses

Students that drop a course(s) during the published Add/Drop period of a term, but remain enrolled in the University, will be refunded 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges relating to the course(s) dropped with a deduction for equipment not returned in new, unopened condition within fourteen (14) calendar days of dropping the associated course. Refunds due will be processed within 30 days of the schedule change at the Florida campus, and 45 days of the schedule change at the California and Texas campuses. Tuition adjustments will not be made for courses dropped after the first week of the term. 

Students that drop a course(s) beyond the Add/Drop period each term, but remain enrolled in the University, will only be charged for those courses attempted beyond the Add/Drop period.

Students that do not remain enrolled and whose last date of attendance is within the Add/Drop period will be responsible for tuition charges through the end date of the previous term. Please note:  Supplies become student purchases once issued to student. Students who drop or have been dismissed after supplies have been issued will assume ownership for these items and will not be eligible for refunds. For Title IV purposes, West Coast University is required to process the return of federal financial aid funds based on the students last date of attendance, regardless of whether they withdraw during the add/drop period or not. Please refer to the Tuition Refund Policy for more details.
