Refund Policy
The Office of Global Studies is always working to keep our program fees as low as possible.  One way we are able to do so is by making financial committments for accommodation, meals, and other program related expenses well in advance of the program's start date.

We understand that plans, as well as personal situations, may change. We ask that you familiarize yourself with the Refund Policy before making your deposit so that you are aware of the potential impact of withdrawing from the program prior to, or after the start of, the program.
