Tuition Refund Policy

REFUND POLICY
The SAIS refund policy is strongly adhered to and is charted below. Students may receive an exception to the refund policy for documented extenuating circumstances beyond their control. All petitions, including supporting documentation, should be submitted to the Director of Operations. The refund is administered if there is a change in status from full-time to part-time study, a change in part-time study from two courses to one course or if a student withdraws from SAIS altogether. If a student with SAIS fellowship aid drops below full-time enrollment, the fellowship is automatically rescinded and the institution’s refund policy goes into effect.
