If a student is forced to withdraw from the program because of covered medical reasons after final fees have been paid but before departure, a refund will be made through the Fees Refund and Medical Insurance Policy, less a $100 processing fee, the $50 non-refundable application fee and the $210 insurance premium. The policy requires written proof of medical reasons provided by your physician.
Students withdrawing voluntarily for any reason after Wednesday, July 20, 2011, including withdrawals because of medical reasons not covered under the medical refund policy, receive no refund of fees paid unless they are able to provide a qualified replacement.

Replacement students must pay in full at the time of application. Flights cannot be arranged for replacement students applying after Friday, June 24, 2011.
Once the program has started, students withdrawing receive no refund under any circumstances. This refund policy is necessary because the booking of facilities in London requires substantial non-refundable payments and commitments by AIFS in advance.
