Students should be aware that participation in an off-campus program involves certain elements of risk which are beyond the control of the program staff or Monmouth College. Cancellation of Program Participation Students who have been granted Monmouth College permission for off-campus study will not be allowed to begin a study-abroad program in a country for which a "Travel Warning" has been issued by the U.S. Department of State. Should such a warning come into effect prior to the beginning of a program, students will need to work with the Off-Campus Study Office to make alternative plans for their approved off-campus program. In cases where a Travel Warning is issued while a program is in progress, a decision to withdraw students from the county may be made based on advice of the U.S. Department of State. Monmouth College may require a student to return from an off-campus program at any time, regardless of whether its sponsor or host institution has officially cancelled the program. Refund of Charges A student who withdraws before the first day of classes of any semester, is not considered to have been enrolled for that semester and is therefore entitled to a 100% cancellation of charges. If a student remains on campus beyond his/her withdrawal date, he/she will be assessed room and meal costs based on actual period of residency on campus. Program fees, housing fees and all other fees assessed to a student's account to cover additional charges by a host institution for an off-campus program will be refunded in accordance with refunds made by the host institution. Any special travel arrangements or incidental costs due to a program cancellation will be at the student’s own expense. For further information, see the "Tuition and Other Charges" section of the Monmouth College Catalogue. This webpage was prepared by Professor Thomas J. Sienkewicz of Monmouth College.
