Have your plans changed? Why it’s important to officially cancel (as opposed to not show up):
Currently, group sizes are limited to ensure participant safety. This means that we cannot always accommodate everyone who wants to join an event and have an active waitlist. If your plans change, it’s important to let us know because someone would love to have your spot! To cancel your reservation, simply email: annie@fiuts.org. There is no penalty to cancel your reservation.
If you are cancelling for a ticketed event, please note that FIUTS can refund 75% of the ticket price up to three days before an event. If you cancel less than three days before an event, it will not be possible to issue a refund. All refunds will go back on the card originally used to make the purchase within 7-10 business days.
