Withdrawal from a Program
If you do decide to withdraw from a program, it is your responsibility to send a formal statement to edabroad@iu.edu, outlining the reason for withdrawal. Do not cancel or change your registration.
If you are abroad through a co-sponsoring agency, it is also your responsibility to inform that agency of your decision. Do not cancel or change your registration.
Education Abroad will notify the Office of Student Financial Assistance of your withdrawal. Please note that students who withdraw after a program begins should expect to repay any financial assistance awarded for the program.
Refund Policy
Once a student confirms their commitment to participate in an IU Education Abroad program, a minimum $500 withdrawal penalty applies plus additional non-recoverable costs as determined by the particular program, the timing, and circumstances of the withdrawal.
Program cancellation
In the unlikely event that IU cancels a program, Education Abroad will determine refunds based on each individual case. Factors include the timing of the cancellation, number of students affected, housing situation, negotiation of recoverable housing costs and other program-related fees. The amount of credit already completed and the opportunities for students to complete courses through alternative arrangements will also be considered.
