- Read the Participation Agreement thoroughly before signing the Intent to Participate form. The Intent to Participate form is the legal agreement between you and the University; be sure you are comfortable with the expectations and responsibilities as described.
- Before you leave to study abroad, be sure to confirm that all the required paperwork for loans, grants, and scholarships has been received and processed. Failure to do so may result in late fees and/or a "hold" being placed against your account for unpaid balances.
- Tuition and fees are due in full prior to departure or by the University's official billing date, whichever comes first.
- Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferrable, and cannot be deferred to other study abroad programs.
- All questions about bills and payments should be directed to the University Business Office.
