Payment is considered past due 15 days after the invoice date, and a financial hold will be placed on your student account.

Here are important dates to note:

• Payment Due: At Time of Invoice
• Payment Past Due/Financial Hold Placed: 15 Days After Invoice Date

Drops and Other Course Changes

For general policies related to dropping a course, see Drops, Withdrawals & Refunds.

Cancellation Policy

UWPCE reserves the right to cancel programs or classes with low enrollment. If a program is canceled, all fees will be refunded.

Auditing a Course

Noncredit courses may not be audited. 

You may request to audit a credit course when you register. When auditing a course, you pay the same costs and fees as a regular student, but you earn no grade and no credit.
