Tuition

Withdrawal after the first day of class (from Day 2 of classes), but no later than five days after the beginning of classes (Day 1-Day 5 of classes included): refund 50% of tuition minus confirmation fee and cancellation fee.

 

Thereafter (if enrolled for a single semester): no refund.

 

Thereafter, with respect to Students enrolled for the entire academic year and who withdraw during the first semester: refund second-semester tuition and summer semester tuition minus confirmation and cancellation fee.

 

Thereafter, with respect to Students enrolled for the entire academic year and who withdraw during the second or summer term: no refund.

 

Tuition assistance, grants, and scholarships provided by the Program and TAU are contingent on successful completion of the course of studies.  Early withdrawal cancels the aforementioned funding and makes the Student liable for the full tuition as covered in clauses above.

 

Students who have received federal loan disbursements before they withdraw will not receive any refunds and must contact the Department of Education if they want to return any of the funds.

Dormitories

Students who have submitted their confirmation form on the portal and requested housing, will be charged in full for that housing and should consider that as a confirmation of housing, unless stated differently that the program housing is not available for that specific program (example: Winter ulpan where housing is not always a guarantee for that program). Students should not expect or wait for an email from housing and should consider the portal confirmation as a confirmation of housing
If a student should choose to withdraw from housing, no refund will be provided.
 
Cancellation letters should be sent to housing@tauex.tau.ac.il with the program coordinator cc'ed.
 
Tel Aviv University does not refund fees to students who leave TAU housing early. 

 

Conditional Fees

 

Bank Fee – Bounced checks incur a $60 fee and cancellation of any payment plan.

 

Late payment of fees –  This incurs a $100 fee for every 30 days passed the payment deadline and may lead to the cancellation of the Student's payment plan. Students in debt will be refrained from receiving TAU services (e.g registration for courses, grades, library access, and/or receiving TAU academic documents).

 

Cancellation Fee – A $500 fee is incurred if a student withdraws after TAU Interntional receives the Confirmation Form or if a withdrawal occurs after the first day of classes, whichever one comes first. Note that for study abroad year/semester programs, the first day of class refers to the first day of the required Hebrew Ulpan.

 

Collection Fees – Tel Aviv University may utilize the services of an attorney and/or collection agent to collect any amount past due, and you will be charged an additional amount equal to the cost of collection (approximately 33% of your outstanding balance) as well as any other fees incurred by Tel Aviv University.
