To request a refund after withdrawing from a study-abroad program, review the program’s refund policy in your contract or agreement. Policies vary by institution but often require written notice within a specified timeframe.
Contact the program coordinator or admissions office to initiate the process. Provide your withdrawal reason and any supporting documentation. Refunds may be partial, depending on withdrawal timing and non-recoverable costs like visa fees or deposits.
If the institution denies your request, escalate the matter to higher authorities or seek legal advice. Keep records of all communications for reference.
