Cancellation Policy

Study Abroad involves many offices and procedures.  It is important to think through the entire process before making the final commitment.  In the event that you have decided not to continue with your application process either before decision or post decision, you should inform the study abroad advisor in writing as soon as possible.  Please see our cancellation schedule below:

Each third party provider may also have its own policies. In the event of illness or another unexpected catastrophic event which may lead a student to forego the program or to terminate that study prematurely, IUP will not be required to provide a refund or any of the monies paid for the program. However, it may do so if IUP determines that the circumstances merit a refund.

 


IMPORTANT!  To maintain your enrollment status at IUP, receive credit 
towards your degree and use qualifying financial aid to help pay for your
program, you must coordinate your study abroad experience through
IUP's Office of International Education (OIE).
