Cancellation policy

There will be no refunds for cancellations, since we have no flexibility in the number of attendees we must provide to justify Yale’s investment in the curriculum development. Substitutions would be subject to approval according to the selection criteria for the program.

Program is subject to cancellation or change. Liability is limited to funds remitted for program registration and sponsorship fees. Faculty is subject to change without prior notice. If there are fewer spaces than qualified candidates, some applicants may be deferred until the following year’s program.
