Cancellation & Refund Policies

Newlane University Refund Policy

Updated August 22, 2025

Degree Cost Summary

Registration Fee: $249 (fully refundable within 30 days of registration; non-refundable after).
Tuition: $39/month after enrollment, capped at $1,248.
Base Total: $1,497 (includes registration + tuition).
Extended Time Fee: $150 per 3-month extension

Students pay the $249 registration fee in order to provisionally enroll in a degree program. This gives them access to 4 courses (12 credits). Once they complete the 4 courses, they are fully enrolled. 

After 30 days, the student’s account will start to be charged $39/month. After 32 months (when they’ve paid $1,248), students receive 3 additional months (35 months total) at no additional cost to complete their degree. After the 35 months, if needed, students may purchase 3-month extensions at $150 each.

Quarterly Continuation Agreement

Each quarter, enrolled students confirm continuation by agreeing to the following:

I wish to continue my studies with Newlane and waive any right to a refund for tuition paid to date. I agree to pay $39 per month until reaching a total of $1,248.

I understand that:

  • Each $39 payment covers one month, and if I withdraw, potential refunds for that month’s payment are based on timing: 70% if within the 1st week, 40% if within the 2nd, 20% if within the 3rd, and no refund after three weeks.
  • If I complete a course at any time during this quarterly subscription period (3 months), I waive any right to a refund for the full quarter.
  • I will reach $1,248 in 32 months from enrollment, and if I have not completed my degree by then, I will receive 3 additional months (35 total) at no additional cost.
  • If I do not finish within 35 months, I may purchase 3-month extensions at $150 each. 
  • If I do not sign this agreement, tuition charges will pause and my access to the platform will be blocked.
  • I can withdraw at any time for any reason. Upon notification of withdrawal, Newlane will stop all pending and future charges.

I agree to the terms of the Continuation Agreement.

Withdrawals

To withdraw, students submit a written withdrawal request via the Newlane Contact Form or email contact@newlane.edu. Upon receipt, Newlane stops all pending and future charges, blocks platform access at the end of the billing cycle, and processes any eligible refunds within 30 days.

Refund Eligibility

A full $249 registration fee refund is available within 30 days of registration. After 30 days, no refund is available for the registration fee. If the student enrolls in a program after completing the first 9 credits included with the registration, tuition refunds are prorated based on courses completed, and number of weeks since the beginning of the monthly subscription period:

Sample calculations: 

After the initial registration period, a student pays 1 month at $39/month. After two weeks, they withdraw, completing no credits. The student is eligible for a 20% refund of the $39 equaling $7.80

After the initial registration period, a student pays 3 monthly subscriptions at $39/month for a total of $117. After the first week of the third month, they withdraw, completing no credits in that subscription period. The student is eligible for a 70% refund of the third month’s $39 payment equaling $27.30

After the initial registration period, a student pays 3 monthly subscriptions at $39/month for a total of $117. After the first month, the student passes a course. After the first week of the third subscription period, the student withdraws. The student is not eligible for any refund (because they passed a course during the quarter).

Sample Table of Refunds After 30 Days 

If a student wishes to withdraw after signing an enrollment agreement, they may be eligible for a refund depending on how many weeks since their current monthly subscription period, and whether they have passed a course during the current subscription quarter.
