Such a suspension or termination may result where: (i) a student fails to abide by the rules and regulations of The Doon School Leadership Programme; (ii) The Doon School determines that a student’s conduct or performance demonstrates an unwillingness or inability to contribute positively within The Doon School Leadership Programme community; or (iii) The Doon School determines that the continued attendance of a student in The Doon School’s Summer at Doon Leadership Programme is not in the best interest of the student or The Doon School.

Visa Information
-
Where applicable, participants are responsible for obtaining any visa required to enable participation in the Summer at Doon Leadership Programme, and the rejection of a visa application by the Indian authorities does not affect the application of these terms and conditions.

-
In no circumstances will The Doon School issue documentation to support a visa application before receiving payment in full in cleared funds of the Programme Fee from the participant.
