Program withdrawal  

Refunds in case of cancellation

If MSU decides to cancel a program for safety and security reasons prior to its commencing:

OSA will provide a full refund of all fees paid to MSU for the program (tuition and program fees).

If MSU cancels a program for security reasons after it has started:

Additional expenses related to bringing the participants home (or to another approved program location) will be borne by OSA (for example, airline ticket change fees associated with early departures home or to a new program location).

Refunds of program fees paid to MSU will be prorated and may be limited by non-recoverable contractual obligations.

Refund of tuition fees paid to MSU will depend on how much academic credit the student in the program will still be able to receive for work already completed or to be completed through alternative arrangements. OSA will make every attempt to arrange with faculty and departments suitable alternatives to completing planned academic credit.

If MSU does not cancel a program but a student chooses to withdraw or transfer from a program due to safety and security concerns or any other reason:

The description under the Withdrawal and Transfer Policy section will apply.
