Deposit Information

Students who study abroad in a fall semester or year-long program are required to submit a $1,000 deposit to �Ӱ�ԭ�� University by March 1. Spring program deposits are due by May 1. This deposit is part of the total program tuition cost. Students who study abroad during the summer must pay for the program in full by March 1.

Upon program acceptance, students will be required to pay a $500 Housing Security Deposit. This may be refundable to the student upon final review by the local landlord and staff. Refunds may take between 4 and 6 weeks to process.

Depending on your home institution, students who study abroad for a semester/year program may be required to submit a program balance fee. If applicable, this fee will be listed on your study abroad application. Balances are due on the following dates:

Spring Semester: November 1
Fall/Year Semester: July 1
Summer Semester: March 1

Deposit Policy

The non-refundable deposit of $1,000 will indicate a student’s commitment to a Study Abroad Program. The deposit is unrecoverable once received, and, should the student decide to withdraw, additional refund monies will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The non-refundable deposit is applied to the semester tuition while abroad and will be reflected in the final invoice.
