Transparency Statement

Study abroad fees for 2010-2011 will be announced by Board of Trustees in March 2010. Review these current fees only for advising purposes.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The price of quarter, semester, and summer study abroad programs is set by the Board of Trustees. Prices are established based upon the principle that the cost of SCU-operated programs and exchanges should be comparable to the cost of a quarter's tuition and accommodations on campus. The price of affiliated programs is based upon SCU tuition plus housing, program fees, and additional administrative costs. Due to these additional expenses, in many cases the price for affiliated programs charged by SCU will be greater than "wholesale price" advertised by the program provider. The difference in price is due to the additional costs to SCU which include site visit travel, risk management, academic assessment/accreditation, on-site student support activities, consortium membership fees, and other expenses unique to affiliated programs.

Affiliated Summer Programs Fees

SCU students enroll and pay tuition and fees directly to the provider institution for summer affiliated study abroad programs.

Participants in affiliated summer programs will still be able to earn major, minor, and core credits consistent with existing academic policies.  However, SCU offers no financial aid for summer terms and students are billed directly by the providers for all expenses.

Associate Programs Fees

SCU students enroll and pay tuition and fees directly to the following Associate Programs:

• Gonzaga University - Florence Program
• Antioch College - Buddhist Studies Program
• Semester at Sea Program
• International Honors Program

Participants in Associate Programs will still be able to earn major, minor, and core credits consistent with existing academic policies.  However, students will NO longer be eligible for SCU financial aid for the term abroad, will be billed directly by the providers for all expenses, and will need to withdraw temporarily from the University in order to take part in the program.  It will be the student's responsibility to follow the withdrawal procedure (http://cms.scu.edu/advising/advising/topics.cfm#leave) handled through the Drahmann Center (Kenna 101) before leaving the campus. Failure to complete the withdrawal protocol will prevent students from being reinstated at Santa Clara once the study abroad program is over. Summer students do NOT need to withdraw from the University, but everything else applies to them this policy will apply to your unique situation.

Financing Study Abroad

Financial aid and scholarships are available for SCU-operated programs, exchanges, and affiliated quarter and semester programs. Study abroad students need to work directly with the Financial Aid Office on available financial aid options including grants, scholarships, loans, etc. Once the aid package has been accepted by the student, that financial aid will be automatically used for the study abroad fees.

Study abroad students may also apply for other aid available outside of the University's official financial aid offerings. Read more

Housing & Program Fees

All University fees including the standard study abroad fees are set by the Board of Trustees. Prices are based on the basic standard double occupancy room on the Santa Clara campus. In keeping with Santa Clara’s academic immersion goals, the pricing structure also encourages maximum interaction with local residents. Study abroad students are billed via ecampus the normal Santa Clara tuition for the quarter plus a "Housing & Program Fees." The Trustee’s pricing policy requires that only minimum housing and required meal plans (when available) are included in the SCU price. Any alternative housing or meal plan as well as any optional non-curricular travel, is not included in the SCU price and is the responsibility of the student to pay directly to the program provider. Please review this page to avoid any confusion between the cost of the program as advertised by the providers and the actual fees billed to your ecampus account as set by the SCU Board of Trustees. For information on housing options, contact the provider.  Read more

 

Special Fees
