Refund policy
Withdrawal prior to departure
<p>Students are responsible for the following non-refundable fees if they have an active online application as part of the application deadline:</p>
<ul>
<li>Application/Administration Fee: $225</li>
<li>Contingency Fee: $50 (if this fee applies to your program type)</li>
</ul>
<p>These fees will be billed to your UW-Whitewater account even if you subsequently withdraw your application. You are therefore encouraged to make a final decision regarding your participation in a program prior to the application deadline, as applications may be withdrawn without penalty up until the application deadline (unless otherwise noted).</p>
<p>You will also be responsible for any non-recoverable costs resulting from payments that the Center for Global Education has made on your behalf prior to your withdrawal (e.g., any non-refundable portions of airfare, administrative fees, accommodation, or host university tuition).</p>

Withdrawal after starting the program
<p>Once you’ve arrived at the program site and have begun the program, you will not be eligible for a refund of any kind, except in extraordinary circumstances beyond students’ control, such as a serious injury or illness, natural disaster, or political instability at the program site that necessitates early departure. In these cases, any recoverable costs may be refunded, and the Center for Global Education will also advise students on the possibility of making insurance claims through our <a href="https://www.culturalinsurance.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insurance provider, CISI</a>.</p>
