No refund or reduction in fee will be made for a student who arrives to the program late, leaves the program early, or is dismissed from the program due to violation of the program guidelines. A refund, minus the $50 application fee, will be given if written notice of cancellation is received by the Summer Term office at least six weeks prior to the program session for which the student has registered. If illness occurs within the six-week deadline, a written request for a refund, accompanied by a doctor's note stating that program attendance is medically inadvisable, must be received by Summer Term before a refund, minus the $50 application fee, is issued.

There is no financial aid available for the Summer Challenge Program.
