Application Fee Refund Policy

The Application Fee will only be refunded if:
The program is canceled.
You are not accepted into the program and never received an “Acceptance” email.
Travel Insurance & Trip Cancellation Coverage
Travel insurance is required for all Wildlands Studies programs. The specific policy and provider will be listed in your Logistics Packet.
We strongly encourage participants to purchase trip cancellation coverage as a part of, or in addition to, our required travel insurance. If you’re unable to participate in the program for a covered reason—such as illness or injury—trip cancellation coverage can help reimburse your out-of-pocket costs (with appropriate documentation, such as a doctor’s note).
Trip cancellation coverage is the best way to ensure you can recover program-related expenses if something arises that prevents your participation.
