our
6 and 7 week programs |
| Any two consecutive programs may be joined to form one extended course. In the interim between programs, students stay with staff. The total cost is determined by combining the cost of each program and subtracting the 5% extended course discount (This discount also applies toward any trips adjoining our sister programs, ActionQuest and/or Lifeworks.) Arc and/or ActionQuest / Lifeworks enrollment for any two programs in the same summer will be considered as a single extended program in the event of withdrawal or dismissal from the trip at any time. |
about
the fees |
| For the most part, payments to Arc are all inclusive. Aside from miscellaneous purchases, there is no need to spend money for any additional items from the time one arrives until departure. Aspects of the program that are arranged for and covered by the tuition include: All accomodation, food, trips and excursions. As students come from all points of the compass, travel costs, including in-country flights, are not included. A one-time total tuition fee deduction of 5% is granted for any two programs or for two or more students from the same family. Please make checks payable to Arc Academic Expeditions. |
terms
and agreements |
| Due to the contractual agreements of Arc, the
following procedures and terms shall apply. Most students enroll early to ensure a space in the program of their choice yet there is no set application deadline. To enroll, complete and return this application with the application deposit fee to Arc. Standard application deposit is $750 before April 1st and $1500 on/after April 1st. We accept credit cards for this program deposit payment. $500 of this deposit is fully refundable until January 1st if your plans change for any reason; after that date the deposit is forfeit or up to $750 is applicable to any future participation by the same family over the next 24 months. On March 1st, one half of the tuition is due. The tuition balance is due April 1st. Applications are accepted after these dates where space is available. A $100 late fee will be applied to the balance of tuition outstanding on May 1st. Payment and late fee extensions are given to those applying after these deadline dates, please call for details. Tuition payments are accepted by check or wire transfer. Credit cards may also be used for tuition payments, but the tuition amounts will be slightly higher, as our published tuition fees reflect a 3% discount for direct payment. Once enrolled, any request to switch programs in the same summer will be considered on a case-by-case basis. It should be understood that it is not our policy to allow program switches within 30 days of the program start date. If any tour, program or activity is canceled or changed for any reason prior to commencement, Arc shall have no liability beyond the refund of deposits and monies paid to them. It is understood that the route and itinerary, facilities, personnel or activities of any program may be changed at the discretion of the director to suit the needs of the program without notice or obligation. Except for flight irregularities, failure to arrive on the designated program start date will be considered as a cancellation unless previously approved by a Program Director. The Director reserves the right to dismiss any Student who is: A. in breach of (or associated with those in breach of) any agreement as set forth in the student agreement contract or B. anyone who is, in the Director’s judgment, detrimental to the program. In any dismissal case, or in the event of a withdrawal from the program for any reason prior to or during a program, it is understood that all fees, including tuition and deposits, are non-refundable. Also, it should be understood that the costs of any additional travel, housing and flights that are incurred for both the departing Student and staff chaperone (when required) are the sole responsibility of the parents. In the unlikely event of a medical emergency or dismissal, parents (or designee authorized to make decisions) must remain contactable at all times throughout the program and hereby agree to be available to coordinate the return of their Student on the same day as receiving a call from a Program Director. Enrollment for any two programs (including sister programs of Arc) in the same summer will be considered as a single program in the event of withdrawal or dismissal. Please Note: Information on Trip Cancellation Insurance is available on our website here that offers a full refund for a small percentage of the amount insured in the event of cancellation up to departure and including interruption after departure. We strongly recommend that insurance is purchased to avoid any loss after fees are paid. Arc reserves the right to cancel not fully paid applicants without refund and accept others into the program. Your signature on this form indicates agreement with all terms, conditions and refund policies published on our website, in the brochure and on thr registration and application form. |
