Cancellations and Schedule Changes
Continuing Studies reserves the right to cancel or alter the fees, schedule, or staffing of courses when circumstances warrant. If a cancellation or change is necessary, students will be notified prior to the first class, and students enrolled in cancelled courses will have the option of taking another class or receiving a full refund.
Note: Courses with low enrollment may be cancelled a week or more prior to the start date, thus early registration is encouraged.
Refund Policy
All withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing to cs@saic.edu and include the student’s name, ID number, and course information. The date the request is received in writing is the date used to calculate the refund amount.
- 100 percent tuition refund prior to the second class
- No refunds will be issued after the second class
Refunds take four to six weeks to process, depending on payment type.
Note: Nonattendance does not constitute an official withdrawal, nor a cancellation of tuition and fees.
International Student Support
SAIC does not issue immigration support documents for international students participating in nondegree Continuing Studies programs including noncredit Adult Continuing Education courses and certificate programs, and degree program courses for nonmatriculated students.
