The refund policy for students withdrawing or dropping courses is outlined in the WVU Catalog under "Refund of Fees" and ranges from 90 to 40 percent.  If a student withdraws or drops courses and is scheduled to receive a refund of tuition and fees and/or University housing, all or part of this refund may be used to reimburse the financial programs from which the student received funds.

Some aid programs have specific repayment provisions for students who withdraw or drop courses.  If the student's refund is insufficient to cover the required repayment, it will be the student's responsibility to repay the difference.  If the student received aid in excess of direct costs, a percentage of the aid may be required to be repaid.  The amount of the repayment depends upon how many days the students was enrolled and the amount of aid received.  A student owing a repayment to any federally sponsored student aid program cannot receive any type of federally supported student assistance for future enrollment periods unless repayment arrangements have been made with the Office of Student Accounts.
