Withdrawal before the program begins
If you withdraw from the program after you have registered or have paid the fees but before the program begins, Education Abroad will remove the charges or refund all of the fees paid to IU except the nonrefundable prepayment(s) and any other fees that are non-recoverable at the time of withdrawal. Do not cancel or change your registration.
Withdrawal after the program begins
If you withdraw from the program after it begins, you must send a formal statement to Education Abroad that indicates the last day you attended classes and explains the arrangements you have made with the onsite administration for finalizing participation. Education Abroad will consider a partial refund of fees only 1) if you become seriously ill or 2) if an emergency requires you to return to the U.S. In these cases, the amount of the refund will be determined individually on the basis of costs recoverable by Education Abroad at the time of withdrawal. Do not cancel or change your registration.
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.
The non-refundable prepayment and IU Services Fee are NOT refundable under any circumstances. Each co-sponsoring agency sets its own refund policies regarding fees paid to them. A refund of any co-sponsored program fees collected by Indiana University will be subject to the refund policy of the sponsoring agency. Please see program handbooks for details.
