Â鶹´«Ã½

Once a Â鶹´«Ã½ officially "commits" to a study abroad program, they are accepting financial responsibility for study abroad program costs. WMU Study Abroad begins making arrangements and financial expenditures on behalf of Â鶹´«Ã½s shortly after they commit - many of which require non-refundable deposits. Any Â鶹´«Ã½ or participant who withdraws after committing to a study abroad program is responsible for the study abroad Program Fee, less any expenses WMU Study Abroad is able to recover. Additionally, if a Â鶹´«Ã½ or participant withdraws after committing, the Commitment Fee is non-refundable. Theses details and procedures are outlined in the WMU Study Abroad application. Before committing, Â鶹´«Ã½s should ensure they understand this policy and procedure, and have determined how they are going to pay for all study abroad program related costs.

If a Â鶹´«Ã½ decides at any time that they are not going to participate in the program to which they are committed, they must notify their assigned study abroad specialist through their @wmich email.

Please be advised that these policies refer only to the charges billed to a Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s WMU account by WMU Study Abroad. Students should check with their host university, program provider, airline, etc. regarding refund deadlines for other related expenses that are not billed to their WMU Â鶹´«Ã½ account.
