Students can access DEAC through their WIN account. For parents to receive e-statement notification and gain access to DEAC, the student must set up the parent as an authorized payer.

Cancellations and Refunds
If we must cancel a summer program because of limited enrollment or travel or other safety concerns, we will notify the students enrolled by email or phone, and we will fully refund any deposit, tuition, and WFU-owned housing charges paid. Further, we will use our best efforts to make arrangements for each student enrolled to attend a similar program, if the student so desires.
