What if we change our mind after enrolling and want to cancel a course?

If you need to cancel a student's course, request a course drop within 28 calendar days in Genius by:

  • logging in and going to the "Student" module
  • selecting the student
  • choose "Drop a Course" from the left side navigation menu
  • then 'Request New Drop"
  • choose the course and reason, then click on "Save" 

WVS will evaluate whether the request was within 28 calendar days and approve the drop.  Following this procedure ensures that the billing refund information is correct at WVS. The first of the 28 days starts the day the course in activated.
No refunds will be given on the 29th day or beyond.

Parent Testimonials

    • Parent Testimonial Honestly he loves your class. He asked to be taken out of the 'in person' class at school and do your class. What he finds extremely effective for him is that as he is learning, if he needs to hear the word over again, he can push to replay the word. He feels he learns best this way. He is enjoying the class and looks forward to talking to his aunt and cousin who are fluent in German and from Germany.
    • Parent Testimonial With the "typical" school year winding down (& that has new meaning this year), we just want to send a thank you note to WVS for another successful year. So often we only reach out with problems and complaints and forget to appreciate when everything runs smoothly. This is our seventh year of WVS courses. Your teachers have again done a terrific job, and a huge thanks to the office staff that works behind the scenes!
    • Parent Testimonial WVS is a wonderful resource. It brings education to students where ever they are in the state. All three of my kids have benefited greatly.
