Cancellation by the Federation

  1. Whilst we make every effort to avoid changes to any of our programmes, occasionally circumstances beyond our control require us to make changes to advertised summer schools, and the Federation reserves the right to withdraw any programme or Summer School session. In such circumstances, we will endeavour to provide a substitute of equal standing and will contact participants immediately.
  1. Should illness or emergency prevent a Summer School tutor from teaching, we will endeavour to provide a substitute of equal standing.
  1. If for any reason the Federation cancels a programme or summer school, all fees will be returned in full. The Federation cannot reimburse the cost of any pre-booked travel arrangements and we strongly advise that you purchase travel insurance to cover any significant costs incurred.

Insurance

  1. You must take out travel insurance to cover yourself for your return journey and the duration of your stay. It should cover any expenses incurred as a result of lost or stolen property, late arrival, early or delayed departure, or cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. The Federation accepts no liability for loss or damage to student property.
  1. You are required to have medical insurance to ensure you are covered for any medical treatment you may require during your stay, particularly if you have known medical needs that may need attention. Medical costs are expensive and payment is often needed at the time of treatment. Medical care is only available free of charge to permanent residents of the UK.
