Cancellation

If there are significant changes in the course offerings or other aspects of the Program (other than a change in Program personnel), applicants who have paid a deposit or registered in the Program will be immediately advised and afforded the opportunity to obtain a full refund of all fees paid.

Should the Program be cancelled for any reason after a deposit has been paid, the Program Director will use her best efforts to make arrangements for each student enrolled to attend a similar Program if the student so desires.

If, prior to its commencement, the Program is cancelled for any reason, all funds advanced by the student will be refunded within twenty (20) days after the date of cancellation.

If, prior to the commencement of the Program, a U.S. State Department Travel Warning is issued for Italy or travel outside the United States generally, or Italy is declared an “Area of Instability,” you will be notified promptly and given an opportunity to withdraw from the Program. Students who withdraw will receive a full refund of all monies advanced within twenty (20) days after notice of withdrawal.

If, during the course of the Program, the U.S. State Department Travel Warning is issued for Italy or travel outside the United States generally, or Italy is declared an “Area of Instability,” you will be notified promptly and will be permitted to withdraw from the Program. Should a student withdraw, or should the Program be terminated for this reason, you will be refunded all fees paid except for any fees used for Program activities (e.g., trips, events) prior to the issue date of the warning.

In addition to the $250 non-refundable Application Fee, you may be subject to a cancellation fee if you withdraw from the Program after you have been accepted.  There will be no cancellation fee charged until March 1. A $50 cancellation fee will be withheld if you withdraw from the Program between March 2 and 19. After March 20, you will lose not only the full deposit but you may lose the entire program fee as well.

A refund for students who withdraw after the final cancellation deadline is based upon recoverable costs.  Depending on the date of cancellation, the entire program fee may be forfeited. If cancellation occurs within 45 days of departure, there is little chance of a refund. There is no monetary refund for the cost of passport/ID photos.

Cancellations caused by medical emergencies or U.S. government shut down (such as passport offices) do not guarantee a full refund, and in some cases, may involve no refund.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

Because cancellations, even for most medical reasons, do not guarantee a refund, students are strongly encouraged to consider trip cancellation insurance. Information will be sent with program confirmation, and will be posted on the Program web site.
