Refund Policy

Tuition is not prorated. Session dates cannot be changed for an individual student. You may not substitute another youth for a student accepted in the academy. No refunds, exchanges, transfers, or credits are given if students withdraw from the program or are dismissed from the program due to disciplinary action.

No refunds, exchanges, transfers, or credits will be provided in connection with technical difficulties participants experience in accessing the online programming.

Refunds, exchanges, transfers, or credits are available only under the following circumstances:

  • Haas cancels the academy (for example, due to unforeseen circumstances or due to circumstances relating to COVID-19).  If Haas cancels the academy, you will be issued a full refund (less processing fees, described below).  If Haas cancels a portion of the Academy, you will be issued a prorated refund based on the number of days remaining in the Academy at the time of cancellation.
  • In cases of illness or hospitalization of a participant, a written request for a refund due to illness or hospitalization must be received in the Enrollment Office no less than 30 days prior to the first day of the Academy to qualify.  No refunds will be issued for requests received later than 30 days prior to the first day of the Academy.  Requests for a refund in cases of illness or hospitalization require a doctor’s note and letter requesting the exception.  If Haas approves the refund request, you will receive a full refund, less an administrative fee of $80 per child per transaction and less processing fees (described below).

Any refunds due will be assessed any fees paid by the university, such as fees paid by the university for credit card or bank processing.  Such fees paid by the university are non-refundable.

Please note that Haas must retain the right to cancel the Academy or a portion of the Academy due to unforeseen circumstances or due to circumstances relating to any health virus.  Haas will not be liable for any claims or damages arising out of any such cancellation (other than the refund as described above)
