Registration

The course(s) offered are outlined on the program’s application page. Once accepted, students will find a link to an electronic course registration form in their program application portal. Students must use this form to register for their courses. They will not be able to make any registrations via BannerWeb.

If a student needs to withdraw or change their registration, please be sure to email the program director or the Education Abroad Office at EducationAbroad@ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúOH.edu.

Payment

There are two cost components to a faculty-led program, tuition and the program fee, and these payments are made in different locations.

Tuition is charged per-credit hour and is based on the student’s residency. Upon registration, the tuition will be added to the student’s bursar account to be paid in full prior to the start of the course. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉús are typically posted approximately one month prior to the start of a term. Information about bursar bills, including payment amounts and deadlines, can be found at the OneStop website. Tuition is refundable only if a student alerts Education Abroad (EducationAbroad@ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúOH.edu) within the following timeline:

Semester, Spring Break, and Summer ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú: By 4:30pm on the last university business day prior to the start of the program and course. Start dates are listed on the course registration form and can be verified on Course List in BannerWeb.

Winter ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú: By 12:00pm the Monday following Fall semester Finals week. See university calendar for exam dates.

The Program Fee covers costs that tuition cannot, such as housing and activities. The program fee amount, what is included, payment schedule and refund policies (once set) are outlined on the program application page. The program fee is NOT charged to the Bursar account*, and is typically made in two payments (deposit and balance) well in advance of the program departure date. The program fee can be paid via credit card, or e-check. Instructions for payments and links to make payments online are outlined on the student’s program application portal.

*Note: Notify the Education Abroad office at EducationAbroad@ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉúOH.edu if financial aid will be used to help cover the cost of the program fee.

Registration

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú exchange programs enable students to directly enroll in the host institution. (Students can get pre-approval for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú equivalent courses through the Transfer Credit Approval Form, or work on how these classes transfer back once they return.) All petitions for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú equivalences need to be approved by the CDA (Chief Departmental Advisors) of the relevant academic department. Some students use transfer credit courses for Global ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Plan requirements such as Global Perspectives, Fine Arts and/or a Thematic Sequence. Please consult your Academic Advisor for the best use of transfer credits.

Grades from transfer credit study abroad programs do not affect the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú GPA. Classes must be taken for a grade and passed in order for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú to accept the credits. While abroad, students will be registered for 12 credit hours in STY ABD at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú. This serves as a placeholder course to maintain ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú student status while the student is on the program.

Payment

Students participating in exchange programs will be charged ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University tuition and fees at the standard semester rate. This will be charged to the student’s Bursar bill for payment according to University policy. Room, board and administrative expenses may vary based on the actual agreement between ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University and the partner university. In some cases, room and board is charged by and paid to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, in some cases the fees will be paid to the host institution.

Registration

Students register directly at the host school or through the provider. Students can get pre-approval for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú equivalences through the Transfer Credit Approval Form, or work on how these classes transfer back once they return. All petitions for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú equivalences need to be approved by the CDA (Chief Departmental Advisors) of the relevant academic department. Some students use transfer credit courses for Global ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Plan requirements such as Global Perspectives, Fine Arts and/or a Thematic Sequence. Please consult your Academic Advisor for the best use of transfer credits.

Grades from transfer credit study abroad programs do not affect ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú GPA. Classes must be taken for a grade and passed in order for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú to accept the credits. However, here at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, students will be registered in 0 credit hours of STY ABD. This serves as a placeholder course to maintain ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú student status while the student is on the program.

Payment

Co-Sponsored programs charge ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú tuition and a program fee. Approved program providers set a flat program fee that typically includes tuition, housing, and services. This rate, along with a comprehensive list of inclusions, are outlined on the program website (the websites are linked from the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú application site). Payments for Co-Sponsored programs are made to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú; payments for Approved programs are made directly to the program provider.

Note: ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University scholarships CANNOT be used on Approved programs. They can be used on Co-Sponsored programs.

It may be possible to use federal financial aid to help cover the costs of Approved programs. The Consortium/contractual Agreement for Study Abroad must be completed and submitted to the One Stop office to do this. More information is available at One Stop.
