Our fees are set and are not affected by changes in exchange rates. We use forward contracts to balance out the exchange rate fluctuations and to protect our fees. Using forward contracts can result in an average exchange rate that may vary significantly from the daily rates quoted by the banks.

Our program fees are clearly outlined on our website. You can view the fees for a program by going to the country page, selecting the program and clicking on the More Information link. In addition to our program fee, students and their parents should consider some of the additional expenses associated with study abroad.

This section outlines some of the costs you may incur before or during your time abroad. Note that these expenses may vary by program and courseload. IFSA-Butler Budget Resources We attempt to provide accurate, overall cost projections for each country and program by gathering information from our resident offices, partner universities abroad and recent alumni.

See page 5 for more information about these supplemental charges. Personal costs include meals, commuting costs, student visa, books and personal expenses such as toiletries, snacks, entertainment, personal travel, haircuts, course supplies, etc.

Break downs of the personal costs estimates are available in the My Resources section of the student portal. Books and School Supplies Be sure to budget for these items. Your expenses may vary depending on the courses you take. Remember that even those programs that include meals do not always cover three meals per day or take into account special dietary needs.

If you are assigned a room in a residence hall where meal plans are compulsory, we will send a supplemental housing cost bill to your designated billing address near the end of your time abroad. In addition, we recommend securing travel and personal property insurance. If you enroll in a department that has a tuition differential, we will send an invoice to your billing address once you are abroad and your enrollment is confirmed.

Host University Penalties and Deposits Some universities abroad have begun requiring large housing deposits or instituting very strict withdraw penalties. These policies vary by university but generally require students to pay a large penalty for dropping out of the program after a specified date.

Overload Fee Some universities abroad charge a fee for overloads taking more than the required credit. If you plan to take an overload abroad, investigate the possibility of additional fees, as you are responsible for overload fees if they occur.

The Student Handbook you will receive during orientation also discusses a full course load to help students avoid overloads and their related fees.

These policies are outlined on our housing forms in cases where penalties are tied to housing fees and are also detailed in prearrival emails from our program advisors. Universities abroad often charge higher fees for courses in science, engineering, psychology, music and fine arts. The tuition differential fee reflects the cost of equipment the university has to provide for certain degree programs. If you are admitted to a department that imposes a tuition differential fee, the university may charge you that fee even if you do not take any courses in that department.

Supplemental Housing Fees The housing portion of our program fee is based on the average cost of self-catered no meal plan accommodation, usually a shared room in a regular dormitory, apartment or house without any extra features. Many housing providers abroad charge supplemental fees to students. There are several advantages to booking your flight reservations through STA:. If you have to change your flight date or route for any reason, you may be hit with fees and penalties costing hundreds of dollars.

Passport Fees All of our programs require a passport for participation. If you need to apply for a new passport or renew an old one, check the U. State Department website for the latest requirements and fees. If you are not a U. Visas and Exit Fees Some of our program countries require students to obtain a visa or entry clearance, or to pay an exit fee before departure.

Some countries require a visa for all students, while in others only students undertaking internships or volunteer work must have a visa. Note that your visa requirements may be different if you are not a U.

Commuting Costs Student housing may be located a considerable distance from classes. If you choose to arrange your own housing, we will not charge you the housing component of your program fee.

Students who choose independent housing must make all housing arrangements, including deposits, damage costs and payment of utilities.

On-Site Housing Fees Some universities require small out-of-pocket costs related to housing, such as key deposits. If required, students pay these fees directly to the host university or housing provider. Health and Wellness IFSA-Butler works to ensure that each student is able to accurately anticipate their health and wellness needs and the associated costs while abroad.

As each program location varies in the amount and level of support available, we encourage you and your family to consider this when determining the most suitable program for you.

IFSA-Butler program advisors, and our health and safety team can work with each student to review our CISI insurance coverages, and any health and wellness related costs that may be incurred while abroad. Most costs are reimbursable once a claim is submitted to the insurance company.

Cost of Living Students and parents should note that large cities such as London, Dublin, Barcelona, Buenos Aires and Sydney have a high cost of living, much higher than most cities in the U. Choosing a less expensive host country or city may offer large savings. Using Financial Aid to Pay for Study Abroad If you are already receiving financial aid to help pay for college, chances are that some or all of that aid can be transferred to an IFSA-Butler program abroad.

In fact, more than 70 percent of our students use financial aid to pay for some portion of their IFSA-Butler program fees. Below are details about the process and legalities of using financial aid for study abroad. Getting Started Make a Financial Aid Appointment Make an appointment with your home college financial aid office as early as possible to discuss financial aid for study abroad.
