IFSA Withdrawal Policy
We understand that plans can change and that, in some cases, students may need to withdraw from their IFSA program. The information below explains what to expect if you need to withdraw at different stages of the process.
Withdrawal before the program fee due date
A $500 deposit is required within 10 days of acceptance to secure your place in the program. If you withdraw before the program fee due date and the deposit has not yet been paid, it will still be charged. The deposit is nonrefundable.
Withdrawal after the program fee due date
If you withdraw after the program fee due date, you will be responsible for any non recoverable expenses plus a $1,500 withdrawal fee. If the $500 deposit has not yet been paid at the time of withdrawal, it will also be charged. Any remaining credit will be refunded.
Withdrawal after arrival at the program site
If you withdraw after arriving at the program site, you will be charged for any non recoverable expenses plus a $2,000 withdrawal fee. If the $500 deposit has not yet been paid at the time of withdrawal, it will also be charged. Any remaining credit will be refunded.
