| Withdrawal
Policy for Guest Students |
| NOTIFICATION |
| |
What
is the NMSU official procedure for guest students
to withdraw after accepting placement in its
study abroad program? |
All
withdrawals from programs or courses for which
the Office of Study Abroad is charging tuition,
fees or other program costs require written
notification (e-mail to Office
of Study Abroad is acceptable). Until
the written request is received, the Office
will continue the student's enrollment in the
study abroad course or program and continue
to charge all fees related to the course or
program to the student's credit card.

| FINANCIAL
PENALTIES |
| |
Are
there any financial penalties for guests withdrawing
early from an exchange program? |
Yes. Guest
students who accept exchange placements then
request to withdraw before leaving the U.S. are
liable to pay the NMSU program
administrative fee for the first semester
for which they were scheduled to enroll plus
any unrecoverable costs incurred by NMSU or the
host institution. Students who withdraw while
enrolled in an exchange program abroad are liable
for any unrecoverable costs as determined by
NMSU and the host institution. Students who accept
placement in an academic year program and who
then withdraw from the second semester may be
held liable for the full cost of the 2nd semester
unless the host institution agrees to adjust
the exchange balance to zero for the second semester.
NMSU students have had to pay for a second semester
of study even though they withdrew for sound
medical or other acceptable reasons, so students
need to understand the potentially severe financial
penalities of withdrawing early from an exchange
program.
