Note: After a continuing education class begins, any requests for a refund must be made in writing to the continuing education director.
Once the refund has been calculated, and if you paid with check or cash, you can choose to receive a check for the amount or have it credited to your WVC account. If you paid by credit card, the refund will be credited back to that card.

If it is determined that you have outstanding charges with WVC (tuition, library fines, etc), the amount can be deducted from any refund you may receive.
If your tuition was paid by financial aid, the type of aid you received will determine how any refunds are processed. Please contact the financial aid office at 509.682.6810 if you have any questions.
