Cost
Students will remain enrolled at their respective FDU campus and pay the same tuition and fees as a regular full-time semester.

If not already enrolled, students will be required to purchase the FDU sponsored health insurance for the  duration of their time abroad. Details can be found at www.firststudent.com. 

Financial Aid
All FDU students electing to spend a semester at an FDU Global Partner remain eligible for the same financial assistance they receive in the United States. This includes federal aid (i.e., Pell Grants, student loans), state aid (i.e., TAG) and FDU grants and scholarships. 

Housing
Once accepted, students will arrange housing with the partner institution. It is a student’s responsibility to secure and pay for their semester housing. The Study Abroad Office is available to help guide the student in the decision making process.  

Courses and Credit Transfer
All courses must be approved by an approved academic advisor before departure. All credits will be entered as FDU credits upon completion. Students will receive a grade for each course. 
DO NOT MAKE ANY TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM THE STUDY ABROAD OFFICE
