How To Withdraw Your Student

How To Withdraw Your Student

While we'd be sad to see you leave the program, our team's top priority is empowering you to make the educational decisions that are right for your family.

If you've found that OpenEd isn't the correct fit for your student, you can initiate withdrawal directly through our platform.

Stay informed: Make sure to read our Withdrawal/Repayment Policy before you start the withdrawal process!

Initiating Withdrawal

After logging in, click on the Enrollment menu option from the lefthand sidebar.

In the top right corner of the page, click on the Action button.

Then, select Withdraw.

Depending on how much of your program funds you've already used, you may be required to pay back a certain amount.

You can find this amount listed under the Withdrawal Calculation section of the page.

Below that section, you'll also find a Detailed Payback Breakdown outlining all of your reimbursements and direct orders.

Important:Your final required payback amount will be calculated when your request to withdraw is approved.

Why do I have to pay anything back?

[STATE_ALLOCATION] is available to students who remain enrolled for the entire program year.

If you withdraw your student before the end of the year, your payback amount will be discounted by the total number of months that your student was enrolled.

How is my payback amount calculated?

Your payback amount is the amount of your program funds that you've already spent minus your participation discount.

Your participation discount is based on the total number of months that your student was enrolled.

Example:

At the time of withdrawal, John was enrolled for 6 months and had spent $1,500 of his program funds. Based on his enrollment period, John qualified for a 50% participation discount, reducing his required payback to $750.
