Institutional Refund Policy
Students must notify the Registrar's Office in writing that they are leaving Wheaton in order to be eligible for a refund. The date the written notice is received by the Registrar's Office is used as the official date of withdrawal. The refund policy does not apply to students asked to leave the college involuntarily during an academic term. Students on involuntary leave or dismissal are eligible for a prorated board charge only, based on the last date of enrollment.
Eligible students who leave during their first semester at the college will have their charges prorated based on the number of weeks of attendance, until the tenth week. Students who complete at least ten weeks, but do not complete the full first semester, will not be eligible for a refund.
All other eligible students will have their charges refunded as follows:
