Cancellation Policy

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND OUR CANCELLATION POLICY BEFORE APPLYING!

Undergraduate students wishing to withdraw from the program must notify Catherine Bass via e-mail. The date of the e-mail will determine whether or not students will be charged any additional fee(s). Cancellation request deadlines for each semester are described below. Please make sure you read and understand our cancellation policy, including our policy for cancellation due to medical issues. No exceptions possible.

 

$500 NON-REFUNDABLE APPLICATION FEE

A $500 application fee is due at the time students apply to the Georgia Tech-Lorraine program. No application will be considered complete nor processed until the application fee has been paid to OIE.

Students applying to study at Georgia Tech-Lorraine for two consecutive semesters, will only pay the application fee for the first semester. Please let Catherine Bass know if you plan on staying for two semesters.

  • The application fee becomes non-refundable once a student is accepted into the program (i.e. once an email has been sent to you by OIE stating that you have been accepted into the program).
  • Students who do not get accepted into the program will get a full refund of their application fee upon contacting Catherine Bass via email. 
  • Students who cancel may transfer their application fee to the next semester only; no transfer of the application fee is possible for any subsequent semester.
  • Application fees cannot be transferred from the Georgia Tech-Lorraine program to any other study abroad program.
  • There are no exceptions - you will not get the application fee back if you cancel due to accepting a co-op/internship/job or for any other reason!

Transient Students (i.e. degree-seeking students from U.S. universities other than Georgia Tech) should be aware that the $75 application fee to Georgia Tech is non-refundable. (transient students complete two applications; one for GTL and one for temporary admission to Georgia Tech.)

WITHDRAWAL FOR MEDICAL REASONS

All requests for medical withdrawals will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Medical withdrawal requires signed recommendation and supporting documentation from a licensed practicing physician. The supporting documentation must be submitted within 30 days from the occurrence date of the medical condition. A Georgia Institute of Technology Student Health Services physician will review and make recommendations to the Georgia Tech-Lorraine Director of Undergraduate Programs for all medical withdrawal requests. All medical withdrawal requests are unique. The type of situations that may warrant an approval of a medical withdrawal include, but are not limited to, an unexpected medical condition or change(s) to an existing medical condition.

In the case of withdrawal for medical reasons, students will not be reimbursed the $500 application fee, but this fee can be applied to a future semester. The additional cancellation fees will be waived. Please contact Catherine Bass, Director of Undergraduate Programs, should you need to withdraw from the program for medical reasons. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CANCELLATION POLICY. NO EXCEPTIONS POSSIBLE.
