Enrollment, Withdrawal, and Refund Policies

Our flexible withdrawal options and refund policy have you covered if your summer plans change.

 

Flexible Options to Withdraw

We know that summer plans can sometimes change. You may cancel for any reason at least one month prior to your in-person, U.S.-based Summer Program and receive 100 percent of your tuition and housing payment back. 

You have the option to withdraw and receive a refund of any tuition and/or housing payments based on when you submit your written withdrawal notice. Please note that registration fees are nonrefundable and Berklee is unable to refund the 2.95 percent service charge for credit or debit card payments.
