OPTING OUT OF HEALTH INSURANCE 

You still pay for regular student health insurance while you're abroad, which costs 544. This is included in Illinois Range IV Tuition and Fees, Base Rate. If you already have better health insurance this fee of 544 can be waived. However, the International Insurance & Safety Fee of 200 is mandatory for all students whether they have opted out of regular student health insurance or not.  If you are planning to opt out of regular student health insurance you must do so at the beginning of the Fall semester.

WITHDRAWAL INFORMATION 

WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Students must officially notify LAS International Programs, as well as their home college study abroad office, in writing by email, of withdrawal from a program.  It is not sufficient to withdraw an application online. 

University of Illinois students must withdraw from the study abroad registration or course in UI-Integrate, notify their college, and notify their study abroad program provider or host institution (if applicable).  If the Illinois course-drop deadline has passed, students must contact their College office to drop the study abroad registration.  The LAS International Programs Office cannot do this.

Students who withdraw from a study abroad program and do not return to the University of Illinois for that term must contact their College office and follow the established procedures pertinent to their situation so that they will be allowed to register for the following term.

REFUND POLICY

Whether a student withdraws themself or is withdrawn by LASIP staff, the date LASIP receives/sends notification of withdrawal is the date by which any refund will be calculated (regardless of the date the online application is withdrawn).  Depending on the situation, there may be a balance due at the time of withdrawal. Those charges will be billed to your student account and must be paid to the University of Illinois according to established policies.

WITHDRAWAL PRIOR TO DEPARTURE

Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from the program up to the day before the advertised start date of the program will pay:

•Non-refundable $350 Withdrawal Fee;

•Any non-refundable portion of airfare;

•Any non-refundable in-country payments made on behalf of the student.

WITHDRAWAL AFTER STARTING THE PROGRAM

No refunds of any kind will be made once students arrive at the program site and begin the program.  The only exception is extremely serious and verifiable health matters.  In that case, any recoverable costs will be refunded.

Under no circumstances will a refund be considered for students who complete the program.
