REFUND POLICY 

PROGRAM FEE REFUND POLICY

The Program Fee is refunded if: 1) A project is canceled; 2) Your project is fully enrolled, and a replacement is available from a waiting list to take your place; 3) You are on a waiting list and no spaces become available; 4) You request a refund in writing prior to the program fee deadline.

On January 1, 2010, our new refund policy took effect:  After the fee deadline, refunds of 50% of program fees are given to team members canceling if they do so in writing prior to 60 days of the project’s start date.  Refunds cannot be given for: 1) Cancellations within 60 days of the project start   2) Meeting place “no shows”  3) Team members leaving or dismissed during a project.

IN-COUNTRY FEE REFUND POLICY

In-Country Fees are 75% refundable if a team member cancels from a project no later than 42 days before the program begins.  If a participant withdraws from a project within 42 days of the program’s start date and cannot be replaced from a waiting list, the In-country Fee is non-refundable. This policy is necessary because much of the project team's expenditures must be paid and/or committed to before the program takes place.

APPLICATION FEE REFUND POLICY

Application Fees become non-refundable upon acceptance in the project of your choice.  If you do not request a refund of your Application Fee in writing within 6 months of submitting the fee, the fee becomes non-refundable. 

Wildlands Studies reserves the right to change or cancel a project.  Wildlands Studies is not responsible for non-refundable airline or other tickets, or payments or any similar penalties that may be incurred as a result of any course cancellation.
