Summer Study Abroad Refund Policy: Refunds for study abroad programs are made only after all relevant accounts are cleared and any recoverable funds have been credited to VMI. Upon determination and approval by the Director of the VMI Summer Session, a refund of recoverable funds will be issued as follows:
If a student withdraws between the program fee payment due date and the date the program is scheduled to begin overseas, only recoverable funds, less a $500 administrative charge, are refundable.
If a student withdraws at any time during the program, there will be no academic credit or refund. If a student is suspended or expelled from the program for any reason, there will be no academic credit or refund.
REFUND POLICY: Exceptions to the refund policy are made only in extraordinary circumstances. Appeals may be made to the Tuition Appeals Committee upon written request to the VMI Comptroller, no later than 60 days after withdrawal from the program.
