If you are admitted to the course, you will receive an email asking you to accept or decline the spot. To accept your spot, you are required to fill out the commitment deposit form and submit a $500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours. For more information about payment policies and procedures, view the
Travel Study Payment Policy. When admitted, student agrees to formally register for the course (as soon as registration is available) through myUVM and acknowledge responsibility for all course-related tuition and fees on their student account. Tuition, plus the balance of the program fee, will be assessed on the student account after formally registering for the course according to the UVM Student Financial Services billing cycle.
Program fee refunds may be granted in rare circumstances and must be requested at least 61 days prior to departure, in writing, to Continuing and Distance Education at
travel.study@uvm.edu. No program fee refunds shall be made less than 60 days before departure. A portion of the program fee MAY be returned, excluding the unrecoverable program fee expenses and the non-refundable deposit. Unrecoverable program fee expenses are funds UVM has already committed and cannot be recovered from service providers for expenses that may include, but are not limited to, housing, ground transportation, and entrance fees. Refund of airfare must be directly pursued with the airline in which you booked. Refund of tuition follows the UVM tuition refund schedule.
For disciplinary reasons, a student may be sent home at his/her own expense, without any refund, at the discretion of the Faculty Director. You are strongly advised to purchase travel insurance in the event of cancellation for any reason.
If UVM cancels the course due to insufficient enrollment or for any other reason, you will receive a full refund of course-related tuition and fees, including the full program fee.
