Refunds
Students who withdraw from the Summer Institute prior to May 15, 2008, will receive a full tuition and fees refund (minus the $300 non-refundable deposit). Students withdrawing between May 15 and June 15, 2008, will be charged $150 for each enrolled course, plus the non-refundable $300 deposit, and will be refunded the balance. No tuition or fees will be refunded after June 15, 2008, except in accordance with the Summer Institute’s Add-Drop policies for participating students (those who actually begin the program in Paris).
French Language Classes Add-Drop
Participating students who wish to withdraw from a French language class must do so no later than Friday, July 4, 2008, in order to be entitled to a refund of the $400 fee for that class. Please note that this date—July 4—is earlier than the Add-Drop period for changes in a student’s for-credit classes. Refunds for withdrawal from a French language class by July 4 will be processed by Cornell Law School; such refunds should not be expected prior to August 1, 2008. Students who wish to add the French language class after arriving in Paris may do so upon payment of the $400 fee (or its equivalent in Euros at the prevailing exchange rate).
Regular (for-credit classes) Add-Drop
Participating students who wish to add or drop for-credit classes may do so during the Add-Drop Period, July 7-8, 2008. Should schedule changes made at this time result in increased tuition, such charges must be satisfied (preferably by credit card payment) during the Add-Drop Period. Should a schedule change result in a lower tuition rate, a refund will be processed by Cornell Law School; such refunds should not be expected prior to August 1, 2008.
Program Cancellation
The Summer Institute reserves the right to alter or cancel its programs. In the unlikely event that the Summer Institute were to be canceled, students would be notified immediately and application fees and any other payments would be refunded within 20 days of cancellation. If cancellation occurred, Cornell would use its best efforts to make arrangements for any enrolled student to attend a similar program, if desired. If the program were to be modified substantially, students affected by the modifications would be entitled to a refund upon request.
