Refunds FAQ
Tuition and Fee Refunds for Dropped Classes
If you drop one or more of your classes before the close of business on Census date of any semester for which you are registered, you will receive a 100 percent refund of the tuition and fees charged.
If you withdraw from one or more classes after the close of business on Census date in any semester for which you are registered, you will be billed the full cost of those classes and not receive a refund.

- Payment Plan Fee
- Late Fee
- Reinstatement Fee
- Returned Check (NSF) Fee
Financial Aid Refunds
Financial aid funds are used first to pay direct institutional costs (tuition, fees, and other institutional charges). If your financial aid funds exceed the amount owed to CWI for tuition, fees, and other institutional charges you will receive a refund. For more information, please refer to Financial Aid Disbursements and Refunds
Direct Deposit FAQ
Can I use my debit card number to set up direct deposit?
No. You must use your bank account and routing number printed on the bottom of your check. If you enter your debit card number, your deposit will be rejected.
What happens if I entered my account number incorrectly?
The bank will check to make sure the account number is valid, but they do not verify that the bank account you entered belongs to you!
- If you entered a valid account number that belongs to someone else, the deposit will go to that account. We can try to recover the funds, but there is no guarantee.
- If you entered an invalid account number, the deposit will be returned and an attempt will be made to contact you.
