L&S Policy on Tuition Refunds

The following section concerns L&S policy on tuition refunds.

L&S follows UW-Madison policy on tuition refunds, medical withdrawal, and transcribing enrollment activity.  

Students are responsible for their own course enrollments and for taking action by the posted deadlines.  Sometimes students request a backdated drop or withdrawal in order to obtain a tuition refund. This type of request is rarely granted and requires strong documentation showing that a student was prevented from dropping or participating in the course by the appropriate deadline. Please note that providing documentation does not guarantee approval of requests for a tuition refund. 

L&S undergraduate students who have questions regarding this issue should contact the L&S Undergraduate Academic Deans’ Services at 608-262-0617 during regular business hours. If a student makes a request for a tuition refund, an academic dean will consider: 

  • Was the student attending classes after the refund period? 

  • Was the student physically able to drop or withdraw for the class within the refund period?
