PAYMENT & REFUND POLICY
1. STEP UP FOR STUDENTS DIRECT PROVIDER PROGRAM
WAVE is a Direct Provider in the Step Up For Students direct payment program, herein referred to as SUFS.

There are no refunds given in any capacity whatsoever, as required by SUFS rules. 2. Once SUFS direct payment is remitted, that transaction is final, whether or not the student starts, continues, or discontinues involvement in any classes, offerings, services, events, participation, or other such items as provided by WAVE. 3. WAVE requires that direct payments made through SUFS are remitted within 4 calendar days of your class registration submission. 4. If SUFS direct funds are not remitted within 4 calendar days of the class registration submission, the student's registration may be cancelled, and the registration and payment process will have to be repeated.
