Refund Policy
All payments are subject to the conditions of our refund policy on the date payment is received. USF may at any time update these Terms and Conditions, and post public posting these updated Terms and Conditions shall be immediately effective for new enrollments post this date.
If USF is not able to grant program acceptance for medical, behavioral, academic, or other substantial reasons, everything but the application fee is refundable. The application fee is never refundable or transferable.
If a student cancels an application or enrollment prior to the start date of the program, the following deadlines and refund percentages apply:
Cancellation Date before April 1: 100% of tuition is refundable, except the $99 application fee
Between April 2 – May 1: All tuition is refundable (except deposit and application fee). Option to roll over 100% of monies paid as credit for a future year.
Between May 2 – May 31: 75% of tuition is refundable (except deposit and application fee). Option to roll over 100% of monies paid as credit for future year. No fee to change courses.
After June 1: 0% refundable and 0% transferable to a future year. $500 change fee.
After the start of a program, there will be no refund if a student leaves the program, independent of whether the student leaves due to personal reasons or a breach of the code of conduct. A student who leaves the program prior to the end date will not be permitted to re-join the program.
Tuition credit from previous years is not refundable. If a family cancels the program, any tuition credits from previous years will be forfeited.
Should USF (rather than the student) cancel the program the following refunds will apply:
Cancellation due to reasons other than Force Majeure: 100% of the tuition
Cancellation due to Force Majeure (an uncontrollable event outside USF’s control such as: flood, drought, earthquake or other natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or similar major safety concern, legal or policy actions by government or public authority that significantly impair program operations, act of God): 100% program credit in lieu of a refund.
Where possible, USF will strive to, and reserves the right to make suitable adaptive changes, rather than to outright cancel a program. Alternatively, USF reserves the right to substitute the program with another program option of the same program theme.
