All refund requests must be made in writing to ipfinancials@ucsd.edu. You will receive a confirmation of your request. Approved refunds will take approximately 4-6 weeks to be processed. Refunds are issued in the same method of payment (check or charge) of payment, except in the case of bank wire payments. Refunds on payments made by bank wire are issued by check and sent by mail to the person or company that made the original payment. Tuition is not refunded to students who arrive late for the program, who leave because of homesickness, or who are dismissed from the program.
 

Students who applied through an agency or representative are subject to the agency refund policy and will receive any refund through their agency, not from UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies International Programs.
