  • REFUND POLICY

    "Buyer's Right to Cancel".  (136A.826 Subd. 2 (3) Students may cancel or withdraw fax, phone or email. 

    Binding Agreement and Governing Law: This Agreement is a legally binding contract when signed by you and accepted by Washington Online Learning Institute at its offices in Minnesota and is governed by Minnesota law. Your digital signature on this agreement indicates you have read and understand its terms and any literature you have received from us, and you believe you are able to benefit from your program.

    If your application is rejected, you will receive a full refund of all tuition, fees, and other charges. You will be entitled to a full refund of tuition, fees, and other charges if you give written notice that you are cancelling your contract within five business days after the contract or enrollment agreement is considered effective. A contract or enrollment agreement will be presumed to effective on the date of that the institution notifies you that you have been accepted into the institution and you have signed the contract or enrollment agreement. If the notification of acceptance into the institution is sent by mail, then the effective day of being accepted is the postmark on the acceptance letter. 

    This five-day refund policy applies regardless of when the program starts. If you give written notice more than five days after you signed the contract, but before the start of the first online lesson, you will receive a refund of all tuition, fees, and other charges minus 15%, up to $50, of the total cost of the program. Following 5-days, you will be provided a prorated tuition, fees, and other charges refund minus a 25%, up to $100 administrative if you provide written notice of your withdrawal after your program has begun, but before 75% program has completed.  If you withdraw from your program after 75% of the program has completed, you are not entitled to a refund of tuition, fees, and other charges. 

    You will receive written notice acknowledging your withdraw request within 10 business days after receipt of the notice and you will receive a refund of any tuition, fees, and other charges within 30 business days of receipt of your withdrawal. 
    Written notice is effective of the date of the postmark if sent by mail or the day it has been hand-delivered to the institution.  If you do not withdraw in writing or contact the institution about your absence, and you have not attended your program for 21 consecutive days, you will be considered to have withdrawn from the school as of your last date of attendance.

    WOLI reserves the right to academically cancel any student who fails to demonstrate satisfactory progress toward graduation. Academic dishonesty or other violations of the School Catalog may also result in disciplinary action up to and including the termination of your enrollment.
