Student Cancellation

Please do not submit your enrollment packet if you do not intend to participate in a Summer Abroad program. The cancellation policy outlined below applies to all students including those planning to use financial aid.

If you need to cancel from a Summer Abroad program, you must complete an official Cancellation/Withdrawal Form. You may request the form via email by contacting summer-abroad@ucdavis.edu or by phone at 1-800-SUMMER6

Cancellations are effective the date the form is received by Summer Abroad and NOT the date the form is requested. All cancellations are subject to the Cancellation Policy and Deadlines. Note: The cancellation policy is also in the Summer Abroad Student Handbook, Program Specific Guide, and Summer Abroad Contract.

Important Note on Cancellations, Refunds & Trip Cancellation Insurance

Every year we have students who have to cancel due to unforeseen financial difficulties, new job opportunities, family emergencies, accidents, and illness. We cannot and will not offer any special refunds or fee forgiveness outside of our fee schedule and many times financial aid has to be repaid. Therefore, we strongly encourage all participants to purchase trip cancellation insurance. Trip cancellation insurance may be purchased to cover lost program fees, in addition to airfare and other costs. In the past, students have said that they did not purchase trip cancellation insurance because they did not expect or intend to cancel. Do not avoid purchasing trip cancellation insurance for this reason! Be prepared and be responsible. Talk to your travel agent about trip cancellation insurance options or visit our Travel Resources page.

Non-attendance is NOT a form of cancellation. There are no refunds for non-attendance. You will still be liable for all fees and will not be reimbursed for travel-related expenses including airfare, passport fees or other costs.

Withdrawal from Summer Abroad

To withdraw from the program while it is in progress, you must fill out a Cancellation/Withdrawal Form (available from Summer Abroad). There are NO refunds for withdrawals under any circumstances.
