As of January 10th all monies paid on each student’s account becomes non refundable and non transferable. All cancellations must be received in writing prior to the January 10th payment deadline. January 10th is a "use it or loose it date." Any student with a balance of less than $450 on January 10th forfeits all monies. The funds become non-transferable to another student on this date. Full payment must be received by February 5th. Failure to have all monies paid by this date will result in cancellation of your student’s space and any money already paid will not be refunded and cannot be transferred to another student. If a student must cancel after January 10th (having a greater than $450.00 balance), that student may transfer any money paid to a "new" student. This cannot be a student already booked on the trip, in other words this "new" student must be a student who will take the space of the student who is canceling. This request must be submitted in writing. No refunds or transfers of funds will be allowed after January 10th.

Regardless of when a student cancels, all fundraising money is nonrefundable but can is transferable subject to the terms and conditions above. If the director removes a student from the trip, for any reason, then all funds (except funds generated through fundraising), will be refunded.

The only exception to the above policy would be in the event of a school related conflict (state baseball play-off) which occurs after payments have been made. In this case the decision to refund will be determined by Dr. Carl Davis, however, no fundraising money is refundable for any reason. (Alabama State Law)

To receive a refund for any overpayment you must submit a request for refund in writing to the treasurer before the end of the school year in which the trip was taken. This must be submitted online. You may find a link for this form under the “Forms” tab at the top of this page.
