Several payment options are available at Whitworth, including monthly payment plans, payment by credit card, financial aid, and employer reimbursement. Some payment options are dependent upon how many credits a student takes each semester.

Employer Tuition-Benefit Program
This is a great option if you have tuition benefits through your employer. Whitworth will accept payment when your company pays, usually at the end of each class or semester. That way, you don’t have to provide the full tuition ahead of time.

Add/Drop Policy
The deadline to add an accelerated-format course is the day of the first class meeting. After the seventh calendar day of the session, any course that is dropped will be recorded on the student’s transcript and an appropriate withdraw grade will be assigned.

Tuition Refund Policy
All refunds must be claimed through proper application to Whitworth Student Accounting Services. A student who officially withdraws from an accelerated-format class after it has begun is eligible for an adjustment of charges as follows:

*Refund policy is tied to the first Monday of each six-week session. For example, if your session runs May 7-June 15, you have until 6 p.m. on Monday, May 14, to receive a 100-percent refund.

If you receive a 100-percent refund and take possession of the books for the course, you will be responsible for paying back the cost of the books. You will not be charged for the books if you return them immediately to the Whitworth Continuing Studies Office in new condition (as determined by the bookstore). Books not paid for will be charged to your student account.
