To ALL individuals: Please be aware that there is no refund of any monies paid to USD for any amounts paid for tuition, housing, language classes, Russia Visa fee money order, Tutorial surcharge and/or the St Petersburg trip, if you cannot obtain a Visa to attend your selected program(s) after you have enrolled and paid your fees to USD.

If you are a non-U.S. citizen, it is your responsibility to find out what ALL the requirements are to obtain your Visa before you sign up for any of our programs. You would then start the Application Process and provided all necessary documentation/paperwork to enroll you, pay the required amounts due to be enrolled by USD, and then e-mail Ms Cindy King, cking@sandiego.edu what the Visa requirements are for you. Ms King will prepare or have prepared, the necessary documentation for your Visa from USD. If you wait until the last minute (30 days before the start of your program), USD would not be able to help you. You would then have to pay an outside company - not USD, the appropriate fees required to start your Visa process to obtain your Visa.
