All cancellations and refunds are made according to Washington State law (RCW 28B.95.110) and GET Program policies.

In general, you can request a refund after you've held your units for at least two calendar years, with some exceptions. Review the GET Cancellation and Refund Policy for details.

Circumstances Requiring a Two-year Waiting Period

• Graduation or program completion: If your student has remaining units in a GET account upon graduation, you can transfer those units to another family member or request a refund.
• Non-attendance: If your student decides not to attend college, you can transfer units to another family member, hold the units in the account for up to 10 years, or request a refund.

• Death or disability of the student: If your student dies or becomes disabled, you can transfer units to another family member or request a refund.
• Financial hardship: If you lose your job or declare bankruptcy, for example, you can request a refund.
• Cancellation within six months: If you cancel your account within six months after you open it, you can request a refund.
