Students who enroll at the Washington School of Psychiatry (i.e., sign the WSP Enrollment Agreement), including those whose tuition has been deferred, agree to be held responsible for all tuition and fees owed to the Washington School of Psychiatry. Tuition and fees are due, in full, by the established deadlines. Failure to make payments to the School when due is considered sufficient cause to bar students from courses, withhold certificates, suspend students from all WSP services and privileges, and report the student to an outside collection agency and/or credit bureau.
Enrollment constitutes a legal financial obligation to which students will be held liable if they do not follow the proper procedure to change or cancel their registration. Students must speak with the chair of their program and submit, in writing (by email, mail, or in person), a request to withdraw to the WSP Administrative Office. They must receive written confirmation from the WSP Administrative Office to verify that their request has been granted.
Permission to cancel enrollment does not constitute, nor shall it be construed as, a waiver of a student’s financial obligation. Students are still responsible for all outstanding debts and contracts with the School. Furthermore, students may not enroll in a new program if there are any delinquent financial obligations to WSP.
For additional information please contact the WSP Administrative Office at (202) 237-2700.
Specific information about tuition and fees is available on each program’s web page.
