Cancellation Policy

Once a student is admitted into IUHSSDI, the $150 deposit automatically becomes non-refundable payment toward their tuition. If a student is not admitted into the program, the deposit will be refunded. Therefore, the following information is assuming a student wishes to cancel their participation in the intensive, after they have already been accepted.


Cancellation Before June 1st: All Cancellations must be submitted in writing to Cindi Severance at smithcin@indiana.edu. Tuition paid will be reimbursed minus $150 deposit

Cancellation After June 1st: All Cancellations made after June 1st, 2019 will only be considered under extenuating circumstances (illness, injury, etc.). Requests must be submitted in writing to Cindi Severance at smithcin@indiana.edu. Tuition paid will be reimbursed minus the $25 application fee and the $100 deposit.

Cancellation After July 6th: No refund of any amount is guaranteed, for cancellations made on or after the first day of the intensive. Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Extenuating circumstances, as well as time spent taking classes, utilizing housing, and eating in the dining hall will all be considered when reviewing refund requests.
