For a program of 12 weeks or more: all the tuition charges for up to six weeks, any actual housing costs incurred by EF and a maximum total of $500 for non-refundable charges, including any application/registration fees, courier fees, travel/cancellation insurance and the housing administration fee. Late Arrivals and AbsencesIf the student arrives late or are absent during their course, no refund will be granted.

WithdrawalsAll withdrawals need to be made in writing to EF. If the student wishes to withdraw from their course after arrival at the center, they must inform the EF School Director and sign a copy of the booking change notification form. Refunds are made by the EF office or representative where the course fees were paid.

For destinations in the UK, Malta, Singapore, France and Spain: If a student withdraws from their course after arrival at the center, they must give their EF School Director at least four (4) weeks advance notice. They will receive a full refund for all remaining weeks after the four-week notice period.

For all destinations in the USA:EF is not obligated to make refunds to students who are terminated due to violation of EF’s written disciplinary and/or attendance policies or local, state, or federal laws.

Cancellation Protection EF Cancellation Protection is charged at a one-time fee of $65 and is non-refundable. If students are forced to cancel before departure due to illness, or illness in their immediate family, EF will refund the Course Fee. Cancellation must be given in writing at their local EF office no later than the course start date. A doctor’s documentation must be provided within ten days of the claim.

Re-booking FeeEach time a student requests a change of destination, course dates, or type of accommodation after the initial enrollment, EF will charge a re-booking fee of $100, which is payable immediately. (This does not apply to students who are extending their course.) If a student changes the booking to another destination where fees are lower, the difference in fees between the destinations will not be refunded.

Protection for Our CustomersIn order to ensure the well being of our students, EF has established a Code of Conduct, which all students are expected to follow.

Any student claims of course dissatisfaction should be reported to EF destination staff during their period of stay. If these complaints are not satisfied, they should be reported within 30 days after course completion at the student’s local EF office.

LiabilityEF will not be liable in any way to the student in the event of any service, contracted to be supplied by EF, becoming impossible to supply by reason of industrial dispute or other cause outside the control of EF. EF will not be liable for loss, damage, or injury to persons or property howsoever caused, save where the liability is expressly imposed beyond exclusion by statute.

By accepting EFs terms and conditions, the participant accepts that EF freely can use all photography, film and sound material that has been created by EF and or by EF’s staff during the trip, without asking further approval from the participant.
