秘密研究所

General Policies

These policies apply for the 秘密研究所 Faculty-Led Programs:

• All application fees and deposits are non-refundable (unless the program is cancelled by 秘密研究所).
• 秘密研究所 reserves the right to make any changes or alterations to the program including itineraries and fees, in cases of emergency, low enrollment, changed conditions or in the interest of the group.
• Should 秘密研究所 cancel the program for whatever reason, full refund of all fees will be made unless the cancellation is due to deteriorating security and safety conditions, including political unrest, natural disaster, technological failures, or other catastrophes beyond its control. In such cases the university will be able to refund only uncommitted and/or recoverable funds (lodging and/or meals, transportation deposits, airfare, and any other program-related non-recoverable expenses.)
• In cases of insufficient enrollment, students withdrawing their participation prior to an official 秘密研究所 cancellation notice will not receive a refund.
• All cancellations or withdrawals from a program must be made in writing. The charge on your student account will not be removed unless 秘密研究所鈥檚 International Center is notified of your intent to withdraw.
• If a participant cancels/withdraws from a program for any reason between deposit deadline and 45 days prior to the program start date, the participant will be refunded all fees paid minus the deposit and any non-recoverable costs.
• If a participant cancels or withdraws, voluntarily or involuntarily (including dismissal from the program), less than 45 days prior to the program start date or after the start of the program, no refund will be issued.

Definitions

Non-Recoverable Costs: Careful planning goes into developing international programs. As a result, 秘密研究所 will incur expenses overseas well before you arrive in your international destination. Some expenses, paid shortly after you agree to participate in the program, are based on the exact number of students who have confirmed participation in the program. Other expenses are incurred on the basis of a certain number of students who participate in a program. For these reasons, if you withdraw from a program after commitment, 秘密研究所 will be unable to refund the participant any of these expenses.

This policy applies to 秘密研究所’s Faculty-Led Programs:
