Refund Policies

Refund Policy for Semester Programs

The enrollment deposit is not refundable. Students who withdraw prior to departure will forfeit the enrollment deposit plus any additional non-recoverable costs incurred in connection with enrollment in the program. Students who withdraw after arrival will forfeit Bentley tuition in accordance with Bentley’s policy plus any additional non-recoverable costs incurred in connection with enrollment in the program.

Refund Policy for Summer Programs

The enrollment deposit is not refundable. Students who withdraw prior to departure will forfeit the enrollment deposit. All other fees are paid directly to the program provider, and students are subject to their refund policies. 

Refund Policy for Faculty led International Courses/GBEs

A complete application and non-refundable enrollment deposit must be submitted by the stated deadline. By submitting an application and non-refundable enrollment deposit, students commit to participate if accepted. In case of withdrawal, the following refund policies apply:

  • Enrollment deposit: non-refundable in all cases, except if faculty rejects your application or if the program is cancelled.
  • Program fee/GBE Tuition Fee: Participants withdrawing within the 90-day period prior to departure will be refunded the following percentages of the undergraduate program fee or graduate GBE tuition fee:
  • 90 to 30 days prior: 90% refund of course fee/GBE tuition fee
  • 30 to 15 days prior: 50% refund of course fee/GBE tuition fee
  • 15 to 0 days prior: no refund
  • Airfare: Refunds on airfare purchases are subject to airline and travel agency regulations. Upon notification of a student withdrawal, Bentley will attempt to recover as much as possible of the airfare purchased, but there is typically at least a nominal fee associated with cancellation of airfare, and in many cases seats purchased through a group air contract are entirely non-refundable.

Bentley course refund policies do not apply to faculty-led programs or GBEs.

Appeals:

In the case of an unforeseeable circumstance that causes withdrawal from a faculty-led course, students may appeal for a refund. To appeal your charges, please use this document: Bentley Refund Appeal.pdf.
