Cancellation Policy

To cancel, log into your student portal, go to "Enrollment History," and select "Request Drop" next to the course. Refund eligibility depends on notice, course type, and fee:

30+ days prior to start of course: Full refund.
15-29 days prior to start of course: Refund minus a 25% administrative fee.
Less than 15 days prior to start of course: No refund.

Exceptions (No Refunds):

Osher Educational Travel/Go Explore and College for Kids & Teens courses.
Courses with a fee of $35 or less.
On-demand online courses after the student has accessed the learning environment.
Conferences/Special Events (specific policy will be in registration terms).
Special requests and non-course fee items (e.g., memberships, textbooks) are non-refundable.

If the School of Continuing Education cancels a course, a full refund will be issued.

Invoicing Policy

If "invoice full amount" is selected, payment is due 14 days before the course start.
Failure to pay by the due date may result in cancellation of your registration.
For Agency payments (AmeriCorps, DVR, MyCAA, etc.), contact sceinfo@uwm.edu for next steps.
Automated payment reminders will be sent until the balance is paid.

Third Party Expenses

The School of Continuing Education does not provide refunds for any expenses (such as travel, accommodations, or materials) incurred by students due to a course cancellation or a student's self-cancellation. We strongly recommend booking refundable/transferable travel and accommodations, and purchasing materials with a return window extending beyond the course start date.

Collections Policy

Participants who fail to make timely payments agree to pay all collection costs incurred by UWM (agency fees, legal fees, etc.) and any late fees. UWM may also certify the past-due balance to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue and claim the total due against any refunds or payments owed to the participant.

The School of Continuing Education may take photographs, video, and other media during courses and events for educational, promotional, and advertising purposes. Virtual programs may be recorded for marketing and content sharing.
