Cancellation and Refund Policy

Registration Fee Refund Policy

The registration fee of $150 is not refundable, with the following exceptions:  

• The applicant withdraws their trip request before being assigned to any of the trips they requested. 
• There is no space on any of the applicant's trip choices. 
  A wait listed applicant must notify registration@salts.ca in writing to remove their name from the wait list(s) before being offered a trip, in order to receive a refund of the registration fee. 
• If a bursary applicant is notified that we are not able to provide the minimum amount they require in order to sail (as indicated on their application) they will be offered the opportunity to withdraw their trip request and receive a refund of the registration fee.

Trip Fee Refund Policy

Trip fee payments are payments made after the trainees has been assigned to a trip, and do not include the registration fee. 

• Spring Break trip fee payments are non-refundable, due to the short time frame before the trip.
• Summer trip fee payments are refundable prior to May 1st.

Withdrawal, cancellation, or changes to trip choices must be made in writing (email) to avoid being assigned to a trip that is no longer suitable.

SALTS strongly recommends the purchase of private travel insurance to cover trip cancellation/interruption due to unexpected medical or other circumstances such as travel provider cancellations or delays.
