The full $1,000 registration deposit is credited to the total tuition fee. An additional $1,000 is due upon acceptance to secure your place on the program. The balance of the fee is due by May 1, 2010. Registration forms submitted after May 1 must be accompanied by payment of the full tuition fee, refundable only if you are not accepted to the program.

If a student reserves a place on an ASA program and subsequently withdraws, the following refund policy will apply: Notification of withdrawal must be made in writing to ASA Admissions, 375 West Broadway, Suite 200, New York, NY 10012. Withdrawals are effective on the date that ASA receives written notification. Students who have reserved a place on an ASA program before March 1 but have not received a final acceptance by that date because of missing documents are still subject to the above-stated refund policy. There is no refund of the Program Cancellation Insurance or Assistance Fee. There will be no refunds for students who voluntarily withdraw for any reason from an ASA program, nor will there be any refund for a student who is asked to leave a program for the use of drugs or alcohol, non-notification of a serious medical condition, or gross disobedience of the rules of the program (decisions which are at the sole discretion of ASA). Dates, fees, itineraries and courses may be changed without notice should circumstances require it. Academic Study Associates reserves the right to cancel any program and to decline to accept any person as a member of one of its programs. If ASA cancels a program, the full program fee will be refunded.
