Maymester Billing, Cancellation, & Refund Policies
Be informed. Understand these policies. They have an impact on your Off-Campus Study options.
Program Fees and Billing Program fees for Rhodes summer programs vary but generally include tuition and housing. Rhodes College reserves the right to cancel, alter, or amend any part of a Rhodes summer program or to increase fees should circumstances make these actions advisable or necessary.
In the event that a student chooses to withdraw from the program after being accepted, the student will be responsible for the entire cost of the program. Refunds will be considered only in cases of serious illness or emergency and the amounts of refunds will be determined individually on the basis of recoverable costs by Rhodes at the time of the withdrawal.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
In the event of cancellation of an entire session of a Rhodes summer program before commencement of the program, all monies paid to Rhodes prior to that time will be refunded. Should an unavoidable event such as epidemic, civil unrest, or threat of terrorist activity result in a partial cancellation, a prorated refund of all fees, together with an appropriate evaluation of academic credit, will follow. These actions will terminate any further liability on the part of Rhodes.
