OHIO-Credit Withdraw Policy

For OHIO Credit Programs, the following withdraw policy applies. This policy is outlined several times throughout the nomination process, including in the nomination email and the Participation Agreement. 

To formally withdraw from a program, a student must notify the Program Leader and the Office of Global Opportunities in writing of their intention to withdraw.

Withdraw Policy 

If a student decides to withdraw or is removed from the program after accepting their nomination and paying the deposit, the student will still be responsible for fees related to the program.  

Specifically, the student will be charged 100% of the program fee (as indicated in the program’s Student Budget Worksheet) and the $150 administrative fee. In any instance in which airfare has been purchased on the student’s behalf, the student will also be billed for the cost of the airfare.. Tuition refunds will be applied according to university policy. Documented medical emergencies will be given special consideration.  

This policy applies even if a student is unable or unwilling to participate in the program for any of the following reasons: 

  • The student was unable to get the required travel documents;
  • The student has a medical necessity as documented by a written statement from a medical doctor indicating their inability to participate in the program;
  • The student realized they could not afford it; or
  • The student has chosen to withdraw for any other reason
