SUMMER 2022 TUITION CANCELLATION POLICY

IF AN OFFICIAL CANCELLATION NOTICE IS RECEIVED BY LdM:

• prior to the 45 days preceding the program start date, the $500 initial tuition payment can be refunded net of bank fees.
• 45-31 days prior to the beginning of the term, the student will be liable for the $500 initial tuition payment.
• 30-0 days prior to the beginning of the term, the student will be liable for half of the tuition cost.
• If the student withdraws after the start of the program, liability amounts to full tuition and no refund will be made.
• The student will be fully liable for the total tuition cost if no official notice of the student’s cancellation is received by LDM before the start of the program.

SUMMER 2022 HOUSING CANCELLATION POLICY

• Any cancellation must be communicated in a written withdrawal form which can be requested. Please remember that once the student arrives in Italy, no refund will be made for any reason whatsoever in the event of a student deciding to cancel change or vacate an assigned apartment.
• If a student cancels 45 days or MORE prior to the Housing Check-In date, the $300 security deposit and full rent payment will be refunded.
• If a student cancels 44-15 days preceding the Housing Check-In date, the student will lose the security deposit (US$300) but will be refunded the full rent payment.
• If a student cancels 14-0 days preceding the Housing Check-In date – or fails to check-in to his or her Housing assignment – the student is responsible for the full rental amount and the security deposit of the accommodation for the entire academic term.
• The student will be fully liable for the total Housing cost and security deposit if no official notice of the student’s cancellation is received by LdM before Housing Check-In.

Given the costs paid to external housing providers on behalf of the students are non-recoverable, refunds beyond those outlined above are not possible, regardless of reason (including but not limited to those related to COVID).
