Refund Policy

Registrants who are “no-shows” for an event, or cancel a registration less than three full weeks before the CHAT Festival (by January 26, 2010), will not qualify for a refund. Prior to January 26, 2010, festival registrants can request a refund for registration fees. The Institute will refund the amount of the registration fee, less a $5.00 processing fee. The $5.00 fee covers charges associated with processing both your registration fee and refund.

In the event that the Institute cancels the CHAT Festival, all registrants will receive a refund for the full registration amount. Poor weather or driving conditions are not cause for cancellation or refund.

For questions regarding this refund policy, please contact: Kirsten Beattie, 919-843-2654 or chat@unc.edu.
