Payment, Cancellation and Refund Policies:
If you are accepted to Summer Language Institute, you will receive an invoice and payment instructions in early March for a non-refundable tuition deposit of $500 - this is required of all students each year, in order to confirm one's intent to attend abroad. This deposit is typically due in early April, and will be applied to your tuition balance when you are billed for your classes.
After completing advising and registration for your classes, you will receive an invoice and payment instructions for all tuition and fees, less your deposit. This balance will be due May 12th, 2023, unless you are expecting financial aid. If written notice of cancellation is received before May 31st, we will refund 50% of tuition and fees, not including the $500 deposit.
Students who cancel SLI-arranged homestays after June 1st will be assessed a cancellation fee of $150 and will be solely liable for the full amount of the homestay.
