For tax and scholarship purposes, the following is a breakdown of the IAP Program Fee by qualified and non-qualified expenses:

Student cancellations or withdrawals are effective the date written notification is received. For cancellations and withdrawals for any reason, only recoverable portions of the IAP Program Fee will be waived or refunded. Additionally, in all cases:

• The IAP Acceptance Deposit is non-refundable, and
• Estimated Additional Expenses and any costs not included in the IAP Program Fee are the student’s responsibility.

As recoverable costs can vary greatly depending on the program and the timing of the cancellation/withdrawal, IAP strongly encourages students to check with their IAP Financial Specialist regarding specific amounts before making a final decision.

If a student cancels their participation between the dates below, a $300 IAP Cancellation Fee will be charged in addition to any non-recoverable IAP Program Fee costs. For exchange programs, the IAP Administrative Fee and UW-Madison Tuition will not be charged.

Program Duration	Cancellation Fee Date Range
Summer	April 1 to Program start date
Fall Semester	June 1 to Program start date
Academic Year	June 1 to Program start date
Winter Intersession	November 15 to Program start date
Spring Semester	November 15 to Program start date
Calendar Year	January 1 to Program start date
Spring Break	February 1 to Program start date

If a student withdraws from their exchange program after the program starts, the full IAP Administrative Fee will be charged in addition to all non-recoverable IAP Program Fee costs. UW-Madison Tuition may or may not be refundable based on the timing of the withdrawal.

Conditional Participant: Should a student not meet the established conditions and their participation is cancelled, only recoverable IAP Program Fee costs will be waived or refunded. 

Students Placed on Probation: Should a student be placed on probation and their participation is cancelled, only recoverable IAP Program Fee costs will be waived or refunded. 

Change of Program Duration: If allowable per program, a student may defer their participation for the same program to a future duration within the current or next fiscal year. In this case, the IAP Acceptance Deposit will be deferred to the new duration and the $300 IAP Cancellation Fee will not be charged. The student may also incur non-recoverable portions of the IAP Program Fee depending on the written notification date of deferral.

Called to Active U.S. Military Service: IAP follows the UW-Madison policy for enrolled UW-Madison students who are called to active U.S. military service.

If a program is cancelled at any point either before or after the program begins and students cannot receive any academic credit, the student will receive a full refund of the IAP Administrative Fee, Differential and any recoverable costs. In case of exchange programs, UW-Madison tuition is fully refunded.

If a program is cancelled at any point when students are able to receive academic credit (including from coursework completed or by switching to a virtual delivery method), no refund of the IAP Program Fee is provided, with the exception of any recoverable costs. In case of exchange programs, UW-Madison tuition will not be refunded.

For programs with an academic or calendar year duration in which students can receive credit for their first semester only, the second semester IAP Program Fee will be refunded. In case of exchange programs, UW-Madison tuition will only be charged for the first semester.

In all cases, Estimated Additional Expenses and any costs not included in the IAP Program Fee are the student’s responsibility. This includes any additional transportation to return home if a program is cancelled while in progress, or any additional costs incurred as a result of the cancellation.

Accepted students pay a non-refundable IAP Acceptance Deposit to secure a place in the program, which is credited towards the IAP Program Fee. The remainder of the IAP Program Fee is billed by the UW-Madison Bursar's Office.  Students receive e-bill statements for these fees.  The Bursar’s website lists due dates by term and official IAP Program Fee due dates are on e-bills. If a student has a problem meeting the payment due date, the student should contact their IAP Financial Specialist before the due date to avoid penalties. For exchange programs, tuition is billed per the Bursar’s schedule and due dates per term.

Academic Year	Mid-September - 50% of Program fee  Early February - 50% of Program fee

Students may incur additional charges during or after their program (e.g.: single room charge, additional course fee, etc.) for which the student will be billed. At any time, a student can view their account balance and financial aid awards in MyUW. Payments must be paid by the due date on the student's e-Bill. Payments received after the due date listed on the e-Bill will be charged a $100 late fee. IAP reserves the right to cancel a student's participation and/or to place a hold on the student's UW record for failure to pay.
