Please note: A non-refundable $500 deposit is required upon a student's acceptance of admission into the program. The deposit is to hold the student's seat in the program, and the amount will be applied towards payment of the total bill for the program. If the student later decides they will not attend the program, the $500 deposit is not refundable.
Pre-college programs are not eligible for Emerson College's employee tuition benefits.
Refund/Withdrawal
If you withdraw from the program three weeks before the program start you will NOT be charged for the full cost of the program; however, the initial $500.00 deposit is non-refundable and will be forfeited.
Withdrawal between two to three weeks before the start of the program will result in a forfeiture of 30% of the total tuition plus the $500.00 non-refundable deposit. All remaining money paid will be refunded. Refunds will not be issued for withdrawal a week before the program starts.
Prorated room and board credit adjustments are made to students living in on-campus housing who complete and submit an official withdrawal form prior to the last day of their program. Room and board credit adjustments are based on the date the student completes the housing check-out process, including return of key. No room and board credit adjustment is available when the withdrawal of a student from the Pre-College program or on-campus housing is required by College authorities.
Any refund will be processed by the Office of Student Accounts upon receipt of a completed withdrawal form and, for students living in on-campus housing, confirmation that the housing check-out process has been completed.
