How to Withdraw

If you have applied to a study abroad program and need to withdraw, you must submit your signed Withdrawal Form to 28 Gilchrist in person, by mail or email (study-abroad@uni.edu) with your stated reason for withdrawal. We suggest you also request a staff member to make a copy of your form in our office for you to take with you. The hard copy of your form will be dated upon received by SAC staff. This date will be used to calculate a refund per this policy.

• Study Abroad Application Fee ($65):

This is a non-refundable fee. Participants will receive a refund of the $65 application fee if their program is cancelled. In this case the fee will be refunded only to “active” participants of the cancelled program. Students who had withdrawn prior to program cancellation will not be refunded.

• Study Abroad Mandatory Regents Fee:

Academic year: $500; Semester: $375; Short-term: $160; Non-Affiliate: $120. This fee is assessed to students once application is submitted and a student is accepted into the program. This fee is non-refundable, unless the program is cancelled. In this case the fee will be refunded only to “active” participants of the cancelled program. Students who had withdrawn prior to program cancellation will not be refunded.

• Deposits or Down Payments:

Some programs may require various deposit payments. Refunds of deposits are not normally made. All refund decisions are made by the Director of Study Abroad Programs.
