Notes:
Per University policy, Saint Joseph’s University students who wish to study abroad and receive credit toward their Saint Joseph’s degree will remain registered at SJU and pay the full-time, day tuition rate plus a $100 Continuing Registration Fee for each semester they will be studying abroad. Students will be considered enrolled at Saint Joseph’s University while abroad and will be allowed to receive his/her entire financial aid package. Saint Joseph’s University will then pay the overseas program for the tuition portion of the program. Students will be responsible for all non-tuition fees associated with the program they will be attending and should contact their program directly for the most up-to-date information regarding fees and payment deadlines.  Students and families should also review our "Financing Study Abroad" page for information about financial aid.

Estimated personal expenses listed above are of a discretionary nature and vary greatly among students.  Extensive travel and dining out will significantly add to the cost of the semester; students should budget accordingly.

Program Deposit
Upon acceptance, students will be required to submit a $500 deposit to IES.  Saint Joseph's University will reimburse students the cost of this deposit through their Nest accounts. The timing of the refund will vary semester to semester, but it is typically right around the time of departure.

Meals
Estimated meal cost is based on homestay, where daily breakfast and three evening meals per week are provided. Students living in a residence hall or apartment should plan for additional personal meal costs, as no meals are provided through these options. Cost estimates are available on the IES website here
