Cancellation Policies
Semester Off-Campus Programs Policy: To withdraw from any off-campus programs, students must notify the Hubbard Center and withdraw your application in writing. Students are also required to notify the program to which they applied. Students will be responsible for any non-refundable fees assessed by the host program.
色狐入口 strongly encourages participants in off-campus programs to purchase "Cancellation For Any Reason" travel insurance. This insurance is designed to protect your investment, though it may not cover 100% of lost costs in the event you are unable to participate in the program. While 色狐入口 does not recommend a specific insurance agency, many insurance companies and travel agents offer travel cancellation insurance services for purchase. The International Travel and Accident Insurance coverage for all 色狐入口 international travelers only covers travel cancellation for airfare if you are unable to travel due to illness, or medical care received while abroad. It does not cover program related costs such as accommodations, meals, entrance fees, on site travel, etc.
Students receive a handbook that outlines all policies and procedures related to their off-campus experience.
We will communicate with your students by email with any programmatic updates.
All students are required to complete the pre-departure orientation.
For faculty led programs, all participants are required to attend all faculty leader organized meetings. Failure to attend may result in the student being withdrawn from the program.
色狐入口 works with US-based and international organizations to manage our 100+ off-campus program portfolio. Once students are approved to study off-campus, they need to apply to and work with their host organizations and institutions to complete the application and pre-departure process. Our partners are considered some of the top education abroad providers, and have significant experience in risk management, health and safety. Questions about host organizations policies and resources can be directed to the organizations themselves. Information about our partners can be found on the off-campus study application platform. To access this information you do not need login credentials. If you need additional assistance reaching one of our partners, please contact us at offcampusstudy@depauw.edu.
