Welcome to BOSS, the Boulder Outdoor Survival School. On behalf the instructors and staff here at BOSS, let me say "welcome" to our school and to our website. For 35 years, people have come to BOSS to learn a field-based, hands-on curriculum of wilderness survival skills...

 



Cancellation Policies

Most program expenses are incurred while preparing for you to attend a course. Our cancellation and refund policies reflect the fact that it is impossible to recover these costs for late cancellations, no-shows, or withdrawals from ongoing courses. It is also almost impossible to fill a space on a course if you cancel at the last minute.

Please note that the $300/$600 deposit (depending on the course) is nonrefundable after 7 days. Application fees received for courses which are already full will be returned to the applicant or applied to a course with availability.

Those who cancel their reservation for a BOSS course, or those who leave a course after it has started, will be penalized the following amount:

Days Before Start Date: Penalty:
60 or more Full deposit per course, per person
30 - 59 days 25% of tuition per course, per person
15 - 29 days 50% of tuition per course, per person
14 days or fewer 100% of tuition per course, per person

Participants who leave a course once it has begun, whether it is due to sickness, evacuation, or any other reason, will not be entitled to refunds of any tuition or fees. Nor will these participants be able to transfer their tuition to another course.

Transfer Policy

A student who wishes to transfer enrollment from one course to another may do so for a $25 processing fee (assuming there is space available in the course a student wishes to transfer to). This only applies to students who transfer 60 or more days from their original course start date.

Students who wish to transfer from one course to another 59 days or fewer before their original course date will have normal cancellation policies apply (see above). Transfers only apply to the season they originally enrolled in, so a student who enrolls in a '09 course may not transfer to a '10 course.
