• 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. The IAP Administrative Fee and Differential will not be charged.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
