Refund Policy for Student and Alumni Events

In the event that a person has registered and paid for an event but must subsequently cancel* the registration, the following policies and procedures apply.

* Written notice of cancellation may be submitted by email (mhap@uw.edu) or by post.

If written notice of cancellation is received by the MHA Program Office ten (10) or more business days before the event:
  • the MHA Program can refund the event fee, less a $25 processing fee.
    (NOTE: The MHA Program cannot refunds event fees of $25 or less.)


If written notice of cancellation is received fewer than ten (10) business days before the event, the MHA Program can either:
  • accept a substitute registration (i.e. another person will attend the same event in lieu of the original registrant) or
  • forward a credit in the registrant's name to be applied to a future event. the MHA Program can refund the event fee, less a $25 processing fee.
    • If the event to which the registration is transferred is more expensive than the event cancelled, the registrant must pay the difference.
    • Registration credits must be used within one year of the cancellation. Expired registration credit funds are forfeited to the MHA Program.
    • When the registration credit is applied to a future event, the MHA Program cannot offer any refund should the registrant have to cancel that attendance, as well.
