Program Commitment Deposit

A Program Commitment Deposit of $500 (semester programs) or $250 (summer/winter programs) is required to confirm your participation on an SFS program. This is the first payment toward your SFS tuition and not an additional fee. Either you or your home school must submit the Program Commitment Deposit within 10 business days of receiving your enrollment contract. Students are not considered enrolled in the program, and financial aid applications will not be reviewed, until this deposit is received.   To verify whether you or your home school is responsible for paying your deposit, please check your enrollment contract. If your home school will be paying your deposit to SFS, we will work with them directly to receive this payment.   If you or your home school have any questions about the deposit, please contact Student Billing at billing@fieldstudies.org. [fourth_section] =>

The SFS Billing Policy

Students will receive an invoice from our billing department via mail or email, about 30 days prior to the billing deadline for their session (listed below). You will not be allowed to participate in the program with an outstanding tuition balance. For applicants who apply after these deadlines, tuition is due upon receipt of the invoice.

SFS Billing Timeline and Deadlines

The deadlines for tuition and room & board payments due to SFS are as follows: [row] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ] Summer I or Summer Combined: April 1 Summer II: April 30 Fall Programs: June 1 Spring/Winter Programs: October 30 [/column] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ] Please note that these are not application deadlines and we will work with students on an individual basis if they apply to a session after these dates have passed. Not all students pay SFS directly. Your home school may be responsible for making the payments; if this is the case we will indicate it in your acceptance email and send an invoice to your school.

  • Withdrawal 60 days prior to 14 days after the start of the program = 25% refund of total program cost (less deposit).

Program Commitment Deposit

A Program Commitment Deposit of $500 (semester programs) or $250 (summer/winter programs) is required to confirm your participation on an SFS program. This is the first payment toward your SFS tuition and not an additional fee. Either you or your home school must submit the Program Commitment Deposit within 10 business days of receiving your enrollment contract. Students are not considered enrolled in the program, and financial aid applications will not be reviewed, until this deposit is received.   To verify whether you or your home school is responsible for paying your deposit, please check your enrollment contract. If your home school will be paying your deposit to SFS, we will work with them directly to receive this payment.   If you or your home school have any questions about the deposit, please contact Student Billing at billing@fieldstudies.org. [fourth_section] =>

The SFS Billing Policy

Students will receive an invoice from our billing department via mail or email, about 30 days prior to the billing deadline for their session (listed below). You will not be allowed to participate in the program with an outstanding tuition balance. For applicants who apply after these deadlines, tuition is due upon receipt of the invoice.

SFS Billing Timeline and Deadlines

The deadlines for tuition and room & board payments due to SFS are as follows: [row] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ] Summer I or Summer Combined: April 1 Summer II: April 30 Fall Programs: June 1 Spring/Winter Programs: October 30 [/column] [column lg="6" md="6" sm="6" xs="12" ] Please note that these are not application deadlines and we will work with students on an individual basis if they apply to a session after these dates have passed. Not all students pay SFS directly. Your home school may be responsible for making the payments; if this is the case we will indicate it in your acceptance email and send an invoice to your school.

Program Commitment Deposit

A Program Commitment Deposit of $500 (semester programs) or $250 (summer/winter programs) is required to confirm your participation on an SFS program. This is the first payment toward your SFS tuition and not an additional fee. Either you or your home school must submit the Program Commitment Deposit within 10 business days of receiving your enrollment contract. Students are not considered enrolled in the program, and financial aid applications will not be reviewed, until this deposit is received.
 
To verify whether you or your home school is responsible for paying your deposit, please check your enrollment contract. If your home school will be paying your deposit to SFS, we will work with them directly to receive this payment.
 
If you or your home school have any questions about the deposit, please contact Student Billing at billing@fieldstudies.org.


The SFS Billing Policy

Students will receive an invoice from our billing department via mail or email, about 30 days prior to the billing deadline for their session (listed below). You will not be allowed to participate in the program with an outstanding tuition balance. For applicants who apply after these deadlines, tuition is due upon receipt of the invoice.

SFS Billing Timeline and Deadlines

The deadlines for tuition and room & board payments due to SFS are as follows:

Summer I or Summer Combined: April 1
Summer II: April 30
Fall Programs: June 1
Spring/Winter Programs: October 30
Please note that these are not application deadlines and we will work with students on an individual basis if they apply to a session after these dates have passed.

Not all students pay SFS directly. Your home school may be responsible for making the payments; if this is the case we will indicate it in your acceptance email and send an invoice to your school.


Refund Policy

 
Summer 2021 programs have an amended refund policy. Please visit our COVID-19 updates page to review these policies as they differ from the Program Refund policies below.

  • Withdrawal 90 to 61 days prior to the first day of the program = 50% refund of total program cost (less deposit).
  • Withdrawal 60 days prior to 14 days after the start of the program = 25% refund of total program cost (less deposit).
  • Withdrawal 15+ days after the start of the program, or if a student is asked to leave the program = no refund.

Summer/Winter Program Refunds

To withdraw from a summer or winter program, you must notify SFS in writing. Once your notice of withdrawal has been received, you will be refunded according to the following:

  • Withdrawal 52+ days prior to the first day of the program = 100% refund of total program cost (less deposit).
  • Withdrawal 51 to 0 days prior to the first day of the program = 50% refund of total program cost (less deposit).
  • Withdrawal after the start of the program = no refund.
