Study Abroad Program Refund Policy

If a Whitman student withdraws from a study abroad program, any refund of the tuition portion of their study abroad fees will be based on Whitman's standard refund schedule described in the ³Ô¹ÏÍø Catalog. The college uses the first day of classes on the study abroad program as day one for calculating the refund.

Any refund of the Room Fee and Meal Fee portions of their study abroad fees will be based on the refund (if any) provided by the student’s specific study abroad program.

Study abroad program enrollment deposits are typically nonrefundable.

Warning—Refunds Prior to the Study Abroad Program’s Start Date

Study abroad students should pay careful attention to their specific study abroad program’s refund policy. In some instances, some or all program fees may be nonrefundable prior to the program’s start date because of nonrecoverable expenses, such as rent paid on behalf of the student prior to arrival.

Impact on Financial Aid

Withdrawal from a study abroad program may impact a student’s financial aid since aid monies may already have been spent on study abroad program fees. Financial aid recipients should contact Whitman’s Office of Financial Aid Services to determine the extent of that impact.
