***Attention Students***
WVU’s refund policy will be changing beginning with Fall 2007 semester. Students dropping courses during the
first week of classes will be refunded at 100%. After the first week of classes, students will no longer be
refunded for dropping courses and only students completely withdrawing from the University within the refund
period will be eligible for a tuition and fee refund. Please see the refund schedule below for the last date for
which a student withdrawing will be eligible for a refund. |
