SAI reserves the right to withhold a transcript in the case of unpaid balances due to SAI, its academic host institutions or any SAI agent. Transcripts will be released once all accounts are paid in full.

Orientation day is considered the start of term. The application fee and confirmation deposit are not refundable at any time. Further program cost liability is based on the date on which SAI receives a cancellation request using the online SAI Cancellation & Deferment Request Form. If a cancellation request is received before the penalty begins (see below), a full refund is provided (minus the non-refundable confirmation deposit and application fee). If a cancellation request is received after the penalty begins, students are liable for the full program cost.

Virtual Summer programs cancellation penalty - 15 days or less before the start of term: student is liable for 100% of the program cost

Virtual Academic Year programs cancellation penalty - 20 days or less before the start of term: student is liable for 100% of the program cost

Program cost includes any and all costs associated with enrollment (including program add-ons and any optional or additional fees).

Enrollment Deferment
Students who have confirmed their enrollment with payment of program deposit/s may defer their enrollment to a future term that starts within one calendar year of the original term. To request a deferral, the online SAI Cancellation & Deferment Request Form must be received prior to the date that penalty begins.

Program Cancellation
SAI does not determine course offerings abroad nor is SAI responsible for course or program cancellations made by host schools. The host schools reserve the right to cancel courses/programs up to one week prior to the start of the term should the minimum number of required students for a course or program not be met. If a course/program is canceled prior to program start, students will be offered an alternate course/program. In certain circumstances SAI may be able to offer a deferment on enrollment, allowing students to register for a future term. However neither SAI nor the host schools are responsible for any fees incurred due to program cancellation. For this reason, SAI strongly recommends that students always select an alternate course/program.

Should a program be canceled because of Acts of God, criminal acts such as theft, war, terrorism, strikes or other labor actions, acts of government authorities, acts by persons who are not employees of SAI Programs, pandemics, epidemics or other health threats after the program start date, no refund amount can be guaranteed, although SAI Programs will make reasonable efforts to seek refunds from third parties for costs not yet incurred.
