The Honors Interdisciplinary Summer Field Program obtains the bulk of its income from student fees, and budgeting must be done on this basis. Unexpected loss of income creates budgetary hardships for all the participants. Consequently, the following procedures must be adhered to, regardless of the circumstances of cancellation.

1. None of the fees will be refunded unless a qualified replacement can be found.  Some fees may be applicable to future seasons.

• If you forfeit your fees because of late withdrawal, you will receive credit for these fees toward participation in later programs, if they are offered. Note: the Geology Department makes no guarantee that the Program will be offered on any given summer.

• No fees can be refunded. If the withdrawal is for reasons of health or family emergency, and the student is doing satisfactory work at the time of withdrawal, permission to participate in part or all of later Programs (if offered) may be granted, at the discretion of the faculty member in charge of the Program. Additional fees, amount based on decision of faculty member in charge, may be required for such participation.
• Awarding of grades for student withdrawing from the program will be handled according to normal University of Georgia regulations. For students who are continuing at the University of Georgia, Incomplete (I) grades may be given, with the approval of the Deanís office. Incomplete grades can be removed by participation in classes specified by the Heads of the Geology, Ecology, and Anthropology department. Tuition fees are not required for courses taken to make up an Incomplete grade.

• All fees will be refunded
