Additional special fees and charges follow:
- Mandatory student health insurance fee of $686.
- Student Council Activities fee of $25 per semester.
You also need to budget for housing, books, parking, and transportation.
Washington University reserves the right to change these fees or to establish additional fees at any time without notice. Whenever such changes or additions are made, they become effective with the next payment due from the student.
Requests for refund of tuition because of withdrawal from graduate study should be made in writing to the registrar. The date on which the written request is received is ordinarily used to determine the adjustment.
Students who withdraw during the second week of classes pay 20 percent of the semester's tuition, those withdrawing before the end of the fourth week pay 40 percent, and those withdrawing before the end of the eighth week pay 60 percent.
Except for reasons of health, there is no refund after the first eight weeks of the semester. Health reasons must be certified or verified by the Student Health and Counseling Service, in which case the University will make a pro rata refund of tuition if notice of withdrawal is received before the end of the twelfth week of the semester.
The above schedule of refunds also applies for each course if you reduce your course load after registration.
