Refund policy

The deposit is not refundable under any circumstances after a student's application has been accepted. If a student withdraws from the Program by notifying the OIS in writing on or before February 26, 2010, the University will refund all fees paid except the deposit.

If a student withdraws from the Program for medical reasons after  February 26, 2010 (Deadline), and if s/he provides evidence of medical necessity from a physician, the OIS will refund all fees paid except the deposit.

If a student withdraws from the Program for non-medical reasons after February 26, 2010, but before April 1, the University will refund all fees paid except the deposit and those expenses that have been paid on the student’s behalf.

After April 1, no refunds of fees will be made for any reason. In addition, no refunds will be made for meals, accommodations, tuition or transportation missed by a student.

If a Program is cancelled, or if in the sole judgment of the University, a Program has been so radically changed in itinerary or curriculum that it would be unfair to require students to participate and a student elects in writing to withdraw from the Program, the University will refund all fees paid. Under these circumstances, the University will have no additional responsibility or liability to the student or his/her parents or guardian.

All issues related to outstanding debts, collection of fees, and receipt issuance will be handled by the Office of the Bursar.
