Refund Policy
Cancellations by FIU Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy (JGI)
JGI reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any program with insufficient enrollment or for reasons beyond FIU’s control. If a certificate program is cancelled, the participant will be given a full refund.
If a program is cancelled, JGI’s liability is limited to a full refund of the program fee already paid. JGI is not responsible for travel or related costs under any circumstances. Participants may want to consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance in the unlikely event that a program is cancelled or they cannot attend for personal or professional reasons.
Cancellation of a JGI program by participant
In preparation for your participation in JGI programs, several irreversible commitments are made once you register for a program. The following guidelines apply to all written requests for cancellation by the participant:
- Cancellations received at least 30 days prior to the program’s start date will receive a full refund.
- Cancellations received between 30 and 15 days prior to the program’s start date will receive a refund equal to 60% of the full (undiscounted) program fee.
- Cancellations received within 15 days prior to the program’s start date are non-refundable.
At the full discretion of JGI, we may offer a participant the option to transfer their registration to a subsequent program with similar registration costs. The transfer must be applied and used within 12 months of the cancellation. Failure to use the transfer allowance within 12 months will result in a forfeit of that allowance. Should changes in pricing occur for subsequent programs to which registrations were transferred, the participant will be responsible for any additional fees, as applicable.
The request to cancel or transfer your registration for any program must be received by JGI in writing to JGI@fiu.edu. If a payment for a program was made with a credit card, the refund will occur 10 business days after the written request to drop a program has been approved by JGI, or 10 business days after the initial credit card transaction has cleared, whichever is later. Once a request to cancel is submitted, you will receive notification of receipt of the request and approval, or decline, of that request.
