Withdrawal and Refund Policy

Once accepted to a program, students must officially notify the Study Abroad office, IN WRITING OR BY EMAIL, if they wish to withdraw. It is NOT SUFFICIENT to withdraw an application on-line, or to fail to complete requirements. Students must notify the program provider, host institution, or faculty director as appropriate. Students who withdraw from a study abroad program and do not return to Texas Tech for that term must contact their College and follow the established procedures pertinent to their situation so that they will be allowed to register for the following term.
