Tuition Refund Policy

A student is permitted to withdraw during any part of the program in whatever manner – in writing, by phone, or in person. The following policy guides the minimum tuition refund entitlement in the case of student withdrawal.  Tuition refunds are calculated based on unused instructional time and are prorated on a weekly basis up to the middle of the academic term. Other fees are not refundable.

In case of a student illness, accident, psychological emergency, death in family, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student, the Process Work Institute will give special consideration to the student’s request for tuition refund beyond the minimum refund policy.

 PWI academic programs are structured in academic quarters of ten weeks.  The following table outlines the refund policy based on the weeks of the quarter.

Within the second week of the quarter	80%
Within the third week of the quarter	70%
Within the fourth week of the quarter	60%
