The regular fees include one guest for each in-person program. 

Change fee: $15
This fee is charged each time a change is made to an existing reservation and covers the staff time required to make changes.

Refund policy: We will offer a 100-percent refund, minus the $15 change fee, of the orientation fee if canceled 30 days before the in-person session; a 50-percent refund, minus the change fee, will be offered if canceled seven days prior to the students' in-person session; no refund will be offered if canceled within seven days of the in-person session.

^* The orientation fee does not cover the additional room and board fees for students who attend a program in September. Students attending an in-person session in September may opt to move in early but are not required to do so. Opting to move in early will require an extension of a student’s room and board contract and costs vary based on room type and meal plan selected by the student. Should you opt to move in early, you must request and be approved for early move-in through University Housing. Information about early move-in requests will be available in your My Housing portal sometime in August.

^** The fee cannot be prorated for students who opt not to bring a guest.
