Internships Cancellation Policies

This policy applies to all cancellations, regardless of the reason. Your request to withdraw and receive a refund must be made in writing to ISA. Alternative payment arrangements (financial aid, payment plans, etc.) do not exempt you from this policy.

If you withdraw on or before the Payment Due Date:

• Before your advising session: $95 application deposit retained
• After your advising session: $500 retained

If you withdraw after the Payment Due Date:

• Before your advising session: $95 application deposit retained
• After your advising session:
  • Before receiving an internship:
    • 30 days or more before the program start date: $500 retained
    • 29 days before the program start date: $95 application deposit retained*,**
    • 28-15 days before the program start date: $1,000 retained***

*If you have not received an internship or completed any interviews 29 days before the program start date, you may withdraw without assessing any additional cancellation fees. The $95 application deposit is non-refundable.

**If you have failed two or more interviews and decide to withdraw 29 days before the program start date, a $1000 cancellation fee will be assessed.

***If you decide to continue the internship search between 15-28 days before the program start date, you will be liable for $1000 should you withdraw during that period. Additionally, if you do not receive an internship or complete any interviews 15 days before your program start date, we will automatically withdraw you from the program. The $1000 cancellation fee will apply.

• Should the date of withdraw overlap multiple rows in the schedule above, the cancellation fee retained will be whichever amount is greater.
• The $95 application deposit is non-refundable once the application has been submitted. If your application is denied due to eligibility requirements, your deposit will be fully refunded.
• Housing deposits are non-refundable should a student withdraw after the final payment deadline and before the program start date.
• If a student changes or defers to another one of our programs after the final payment deadline but no later than 30 days prior to the program start date, we will assess a $500 change fee, and the cancellation fee (according to schedule above) will be applied as a non-refundable payment toward the alternative program.
• Program changes are not permitted less than 30 days prior to a program start date.
• Signing and returning all documents in your student portal is your responsibility. If you fail to return the documents after repeated notification, you will be deemed withdrawn and will be subject to the cancellation schedule above.
