Cancellations must be received in writing. Cancellations received more than 45 days prior to a program’s start date will incur a charge of 10% of full tuition; for cancellations received between 7 and 45 days prior to a program’s start date, 30% of full tuition will be charged. Cancellations received less than 7 days prior to a program’s start date will incur a charge of 100% of full tuition. If a registrant fails to attend without notification, or if a withdrawal occurs on or after a program start date, full tuition will be forfeited.
Participants needing to transfer to another Wharton Executive Education program can do so within one year of the start date of the original program. Requests to transfer received 45 to 7 days prior to the start date will incur a charge of 20% of the full tuition; requests received within 7 days will incur a charge of 30% of the full tuition. The remaining balance can be applied to another Wharton Executive Education program, or refunded, within one year of the original program date.
Please note that 100% of the full tuition will be forfeited if one of the following occurs:
- The registrant does not enroll in another program within one year of the original start date.
- The registrant has not requested a refund within one year of the original start date.
- The registrant transfers more than two times.
If a request to substitute a registrant is received in writing prior to a program’s start date, Wharton may, in its sole discretion, permit the substitution at no additional charge if the candidate is qualified.

Application, withdrawal, transfer, and tuition benefit policies apply only to Leadership, Management, Finance, and Marketing programs and some Senior Management Programs.

Please see their respective pages for contact information.
When four or more participants from any one organization attend the same program, Wharton offers up to three hours of out-of-class consulting time with faculty, at no extra cost. The faculty consultant will be chosen based on the needs of the organization or that particular group. The consultation time is an opportunity for participants to explore issues pertinent to their organization — in effect, to customize their Wharton experience. In lieu of the consultation time, the team of four or more participants can opt for a 10 percent tuition benefit on each enrollment. The 10 percent tuition benefit will be refunded only upon the conclusion of the program. All four (or more) participants must attend the same offering. Please note that the number of people from one organization who can attend a particular program may be limited, depending on class size. Faculty consultations must be arranged in advance with Executive Education staff when you submit your application. We will not be able to provide this benefit after the start of the program. This option offers your organization the best of both worlds — the powerful solutions of Wharton’s executive programs and customization designed to meet the needs of your specific business challenges. To take advantage of this opportunity, contact Antoinette Simon, by phone at +1.215.989.7988 or by e-mail at simonan@wharton.upenn.edu, who will assist you with the necessary arrangements.
