Program Fees, Billing, and Refunds
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. Students may lose their eligibility to participate either by poor conduct or academic performance, which is considered a voluntary withdrawal. Accepted students who are ultimately unable to participate because they lack the necessary prerequisite courses, travel documents, immunizations, or other items required for travel to the location are understood to have voluntarily withdrawn from the program.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 costs recoverable by Rhodes. These refunds will not be provided until after the final accounting of the program has taken place, which could be several months after the program has completed.

Regarding Need-Based Scholarships For Rhodes Summer Programs
To be eligible for a need-based scholarship, Rhodes students:

• Must have at least a 2.75 GPA
• Must have a current FAFSA or CSS Profile in the Financial Aid office showing demonstrated need
• Must submit their application to study abroad/away in the Rhodes Online Portal by the application deadline

Eligible students are automatically considered for a need-based scholarship. Approximately two weeks after the application deadline, we will inform all applicants whether they have received an award, and the amount, if any. Award amounts vary; some awards may cover as much as 100% of the program cost, though that is quite rare and most awardees will receive less than that. Awards are limited and it’s possible that not all eligible students will receive an award. Awards can only be used for one summer program. Students who are accepted to the program with a GPA of 2.75 or higher, but whose GPA drops below 2.75 before scholarships are awarded, lose their eligibility for a need-based scholarship and the Rhodes′ "Program Fees, Billing, and Refund" Policy will apply.

What if a Student is Eligible, But Doesn't Receive an Award?

• Students who meet eligibility requirements for a need-based scholarship, but do not receive one, may withdraw their study abroad/away application without penalty by the stated deadline (see home page for current deadline).
• Any eligible student who does not withdraw by the stated deadline will be subject to Rhodes′ "Program Fees, Billing, and Refund" Policy and they will be responsible for the entire cost of the program even if they do not participate.

Students who are not eligible for a need-based scholarship are excluded from the option to withdraw without penalty.

Cancellation 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.
