Application Fee Policy
All application fees are nonrefundable. An application fee is required with every application. If an applicant is unable to fully complete the application form for the intended semester, they can request that the application review be extended until the next semester. Such a one-time, one-semester extension of application review will incur no additional application fee. If an applicant is unable to complete the application materials prior to the second residential orientation, the file will be closed by the Admissions Office and the applicant will be required to complete a new application and submit a new application fee if they still wish to pursue an education at Saybrook.
