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 the Friday before Spring Break begins (Summer Program Application Deadline), the University will refund all fees paid except the deposit.

If a student withdraws from the Program for medical reasons after the Friday before Spring Break begins (Summer Program Application Deadline), but before April 1, 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 the Friday before Spring Break begins (Summer Program Application Deadline), 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, and the student will be responsible for the full program fee. In addition, no refunds will be made for meals, accommodations, tuition or transportation missed by a student.
