You will not be charged for your course and/or are eligible for a 100% refund if your drop occurs prior to the start of the scheduled training/course.
After the Course Start Date: If you need to withdraw after the semester add/drop date has passed, you MUST complete the Voluntary Withdrawal Form located on “My Wentworth”.
