Fees and billing for JMU study abroad programs

All fees billed for Spring 2013 are due in full by January 7, 2013 or prior to departure from the U.S., whichever comes first.          Click here for UBO LINK!

Please note the following:

  • The non-refundable $500 deposit, which indicates your intent to participate in a JMU study abroad program, is billed to your student account and the payment is used as a credit toward the supplemental program fee. The due date for this deposit is included with the acceptance notification. The deposit will hold your space in the program and should be paid by the scheduled due date.
  • Read the Participation Agreement thoroughly before signing the Intent to Participate form. The Intent to Participate form is the legal agreement between you and the University; be sure you are comfortable with the expectations and responsibilities as described.
  • Before you leave to study abroad, be sure to confirm that all the required paperwork for loans, grants, and scholarships has been received and processed.  Failure to do so may result in late fees and/or a "hold" being placed against your account for unpaid balances. 
  • Tuition and fees are due in full prior to departure or by the University's official billing date, whichever comes first.
  • Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferrable, and cannot be deferred to other study abroad programs.
  • To formally withdraw from or cancel your enrollment in a JMU study abroad program, the student must complete the Cancellation/Withdrawal form. Cancellation or withdrawal should be submitted as soon as possible to avoid financial penalties (see form).
  • A deposit may be deferred to another term of the same semester abroad program in Antwerp, Florence, London, or Salamanca only once, e.g. if you are enrolled in a fall semester, you may defer your enrollment to a future term (spring or summer of the following year). There is a limit of one transfer per student, after which the deposit is forfeited. The Cancellation/Withdrawal form is required to make this transfer and should be completed on the same timeline (see form) to avoid additional financial obligations. The OIP will process the transfer your deposit to another term.
  • All questions about bills and payments should be directed to the University Business Office.
  • General information on financial assistance for study abroad can be found on the oIP web site of Financial Aid/Scholarships.  Specific questions about financial aid should be directed to Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.
