STUDY ABROAD + VOLUNTEER SERVICE
IPSL programs combine academic studies and volunteer service and full cultural immersion to give students a deeper, more meaningful study abroad experience.
IPSL Undergraduate Program CANCELLATION POLICY
Should circumstances require the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership to cancel a program before it starts, students will be notified and offered a comparable program in which to participate, where possible. If for any reason a comparable program cannot be offered, a full refund of any fees and the deposit will be issued.
The International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership makes every effort to ensure that programs operate as described in the published materials. Occasionally, however, circumstances dictate that changes in the service, academic study, academic excursions, and/or housing be made. As long as the altered arrangements enable the student to complete the required academic work, no refund or reduction of fees will be made.
All fees are fully payable 30 days prior to program start date. The International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership makes financial investments at our program sites abroad for the benefit of students. These financial commitments are non-refundable, even when a student withdraws. Therefore, we are unable to issue a refund to any student who withdraws within thirty (30) days of the start of a program or after the program has begun.
Each IPSL student must sign the Contract of Participation. A student who is in violation of that Contract, and who is dismissed as a result, will not receive a refund.
DEFERMENT
Deferment requests must be made in writing at least thirty (30) days before the published start date of a program (email is acceptable). You must then submit a proper IPSL Deferment Form, which will be provided by IPSL upon receipt of your written request for a deferment. The deposit for the original program is non-refundable. Participants must submit a second deposit for whichever future IPSL program they choose. No secondary deposit is required for students deferring due to a verifiable medical emergency.
As a courtesy, no additional IPSL application and no additional application fee will be required.
IPSL MAIS (Masters Degree in Inter-Disciplinary Studies) CANCELLATION POLICY
Should circumstances require the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership to cancel a program before it begins, students will be notified and a full refund of any fees for an upcoming quarter will be issued.
The International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership makes every effort to ensure that programs operate as described in the published material. Occasionally, however, circumstances dictate that changes in the service, academic study, academic excursions, and/or housing be made. As long as the altered arrangements enable the student to complete the required academic work, no refund or reduction of fees will be made.
All fees are fully payable 30 days prior to the start of a PSU quarter, 30 days prior to the commencement of SIIC classes and 30 days prior to the IPSL MAIS study abroad program site start date. The International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership makes financial investments at our program sites abroad for the benefit of students. These financial commitments are non-refundable, even when a student withdraws. Therefore, we are unable to issue a refund to any student who withdraws within thirty days of the start of a program term or after the program term has begun.
A student may defer up to twelve (12) months the start date of a program. The deposit for the original program is non-refundable. An additional deposit will be required at that time, however, to guarantee a place in the future program. No secondary deposit is required for students deferring to do a verifiable medical emergency.
