Costs
All students pay American University tuition for
all AU Abroad programs, while undergraduate students
pay full-time tuition and graduate students pay
on a per-credit basis. All students pay tuition
on a per-credit basis for summer programs. In addition
to AU tuition, students pay $300 non-refundable
deposit for Summer and a $500 non-refundable deposit
for Fall and Spring semesters towards the total
program fee. This deposit is paid upon admission
to AU Abroad and is needed to guarantee your place
within your Program or Partner. Deposit
deadlines are March 15 (Summer sites), April 15
(Fall sites) and November 1 (Spring sites).

Program Fees
Fees
for Enclave programs may cover the costs of
housing, meals, books, local transportation, excursions
and orientation, depending upon the site. Fees
for Partner programs tend to cover administrative
fees, pre-departure mailings, transcript translation
and orientation. All program fees include travel
protection insurance purchased by American University.
This insurance is valid while the student is on-site
for the exact program dates ONLY. Students traveling
outside of the host site for non-program purposes,
or remaining on-site after the program completion
date, are not covered under the aforementioned policy.
Every student must have health insurance with international
coverage. Fees
for 2008 Summer programs are now available.
Costs not covered by Program Fees
Students will often pay living expenses, such as housing and
meals, directly to the Partner institution or local representative.
Costs generally not covered in the program fees include international
airfare, transportation within the country, health insurance,
and visa fees where applicable. Miscellaneous costs are the
responsibility of each participant.
Financial Aid
American University students with AU financial aid will
be able to utilize their award (except work-study) for their
AU Abroad program. For additional financial aid
resources, please see our section on Awards.
Billing
AU students pay tuition, program fees, and any additional
fees (technology fee, etc.) according to the same schedule
as is established for studies in Washington. Students enrolled
in the AIP (American Installment Plan) should pay by installment,
according to the contract. All other students should pay immediately
upon receipt of the bill. American University will mail bills
during the late spring for summer programs, in the summer
for fall programs and at the end of the fall semester for
spring programs.
Withdrawal
In the event that a student elects to withdraw from AU Abroad,
he/she must notify AU Abroad immediately in writing. The
request to withdraw from AU Abroad will be effective on the
date that written notification is received by the AU Abroad
office. However, the student will be responsible
for any expenses incurred on his/her behalf prior to the date
of withdrawal from the program; these expenses are non-refundable. **Tuition
refunds in this program do not follow the standard refund
policy as outlined in the American University Schedule of
Classes. No refunds are guaranteed after the program start
date and depend upon the terms of any/all contracts between
American University and affiliates of its AU Abroad programs.
