Withdrawals, Refunds & Cancellations

If NCSY cancels a program or does not accept your child to a program, all monies paid will be refunded in full.

Once the program begins, there are no refunds for expulsion or early voluntary termination from the program. There will be no refunds given for any portion of the trip that is unused.

Many of the expenses that NCSY pays in advance to our vendors are non-refundable. Therefore, we have developed the following refund schedule to help us cover some of those non-refundable expenses should you choose to cancel from the program.

Upon cancellation, please notify our office by phone or email immediately. However, refunds are processed solely upon receipt of WRITTEN NOTIFICATION to NCSY. To accomplish this, you may send us an email (using the email address we have for you on file) with your official notice of cancellation.

If your written cancellation is received on or before:

  • March 1, 2021 – payments are fully refundable
  • April 15, 2021 – payments are refundable less $1,500
  • June 1, 2021 – payments are refundable less 50% of total tuition cost
  • After June 1st payments are no longer refundable.

Program Capacity Policy

When a program is filled to capacity and all participants are enrolled and fully committed, we will notify everyone enrolled in that program with sufficient notice that tuition payments are no longer refundable, even prior to June 1st.

Termination

The Director of Summer Programs reserves the right to terminate a child’s participation in an NCSY Summer Program.  When the decision has been made to remove a participant from a program, it will be done as soon as possible.  Any cost incurred in sending a participant home to due to the violation of the program’s code of conduct will be at the participant’s and his or her parent’s or guardian’s own expense.  There will be no refunds given for any portion of the trip that is unused.
