*University Liability
Bowling Green State University reserves the right to make changes in dates, program costs, or courses, if it becomes necessary to do so. In the event of insufficient enrollment, a full refund of
monies paid will be made. Any student who, for personal or family reasons, must withdraw from the program after having been accepted, forfeits the application fee. In addition, if a student
withdraws after the completion of lodging or host family assignments, the student will be held responsible for reimbursing the AYA France program on a case-by-case basis, according
to the time frame.

Please Note: Graduate students with a current BGSU contract in good standing may qualify for full or partial fee waivers.  Please contact the Graduate Coordinator to learn about these opportunities and the availability of waivers.
