If I do not complete the full course of the study abroad term, will I be responsible for paying back money received from financial aid?
If you withdraw and do not complete the full study abroad course and this was the only course enrolled for, you will be responsible for paying back a certain portion of the financial aid received. For further information, the refund policy is available at the Student Financial Services website at www.panam.edu/finaid or you can find it in the university catalog.
