The Study Abroad and Away Office has a strict withdrawal policy in regards to Faculty-Led Programs (FLPs) and Summer School Abroad programs (SSAs). Please read the following sections very carefully, as withdrawing from a program can have academic and financial repercussions. The Study Abroad and Away Office will inform the Registrar's Office and the Bursar's Office of any student withdrawals. The policy below is for Winter 2025 programs and onwards.

If you withdraw from an FLP/SSA after signing the Commitment to Participate Form, you will immediately forfeit your $600 non-refundable deposit ($500 for winter 2025) and may also be responsible for additional charges. By signing the Commitment to Participate form, you are formally accepting your spot in the program. A non-refundable deposit charge of $600 ($500 for winter 2025) is applied to your account after you sign this form. If at any time after signing the form you decide to withdraw from the program, you will still be responsible for paying the non-refundable $600 ($500 for winter 2025).

To officially withdraw from a program, you must:
