If the Chile Summer Program is cancelled, registrants will be notified in writing. All tuition and fees paid to California Western School of Law will be refunded within 20 days of the date of cancellation. If the Chile Summer Program is significantly altered, registrants will have the option to withdraw from the program without financial penalty.
The program is subject to change. If for scheduling purposes the course instructors need to be reassigned, the Director will use his best efforts to make arrangements for a similar international or comparative law course.
If the U.S. State Department issues a Travel Warning or Alert covering the Program dates or destination prior to the start of the program, registrants will be promptly notified and all tuition and fees paid to California Western School of Law will be refunded within 20 days of the date of the U.S. State Department Travel Warning or Alert.
If during the program the U.S. State Department issues a Travel Warning or Alert covering the Program dates or destination or the program is terminated, registrants will be refunded all tuition and fees paid and Cultural Fees utilized prior to the date of termination or withdrawal. Amounts to be refunded for Cultural Fees will be calculated on a pro rata basis.
Except as described in the “Cancellation or Changes in the Program” section above, students who withdraw from the program after the first day of classes will have their tuition reassessed. The reassessment will include a charge for tuition earned by CWSL. Earned tuition will be calculated as a pro-ration based upon the length of the program (session) and the date that the Business Office at CWSL is officially notified of the student’s withdrawal. If the percentage of days of attendance divided by length of the program exceeds 60%, no refund will be issued. For example, if the program is 27 days long and a student attends 15 days of the program the student will owe CWSL 56% of the total tuition (15 days / 27 day program length = 56%) and will be eligible for a 47% refund. If another student attends 17 days of the same program, the student will have attended 63% of the program (17 days / 27 days of program = 63%) and will not be eligible for a refund.
Return of Title IV Funds is a federally mandated policy applicable only to students who receive federal financial aid and who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of the program. The tuition of students who reduce units and remain enrolled is subject only to the tuition reassessment policy above. The Return of Title IV Funds calculation will be made by the student’s home school to determine how much aid, if any, must be returned to Title IV loan programs. The tuition reassessment policy will be applied after the Return of Title IV Funds procedure is completed. In some cases, the student may owe his/her home school money for the Title IV funds returned to the lender in excess of any credit balance on the student’s account.
The home school of any student who withdraws from or does not attend the program will be notified of the student’s last date of attendance.
