Financial penalties for dropping out of a study-abroad program vary by institution and program terms. Typically, students may forfeit tuition deposits or prepaid fees, which are often non-refundable. Additional costs could include unrecoverable housing fees, flight change penalties, or visa-related expenses.
Some programs impose withdrawal fees or require partial tuition payment based on the withdrawal timeline. Scholarships or grants may also need repayment. Always review the program’s contractual terms before committing. Contact the program coordinator or financial aid office for precise details, as policies differ widely.
