Student Fees for Study Abroad Programs 2011-12

Study Abroad participants are charged the same rates that a traditional Bryant University student would be assessed if they were studying on campus unless the total charge at the host institution abroad exceeds the comparable charges at Bryant University. In mid July, students are billed by Bryant University directly and are expected to make the payment to Bryant on the traditional billing due dates (August 9th for the fall semester and January 9th for the spring semester).

Certain Study Abroad Programs require application fees and deposit fees.

Application Fees

• CIEE: $30 paid by the student directly to CIEE

Meal Plan	$2,439 - $2,649.50
Additional Fees*	$150 - $550

Tuition

The tuition rate is the cost of a traditional semester of study at Bryant University

Room

The room rate is dependent upon the type of housing that a study abroad participant chooses. If the participant is housed in a room that is typical of the Bryant University on-campus dorm-style living, the fee is $3,764.50. However, in certain circumstances, participants are given the option to live alone and are housed in a facility that is typical of the Bryant University on-campus townhouse-style living and those students are charged at the higher rate of $4,919.50 (single) and $4,580.50 (double).

Home-stay Accommodations: Please contact the Study Abroad Office for further information.

Meal Plan

Depending on the program, a student has the option to purchase meals on their own or participate in a program at the university at which they are attending abroad. If they participate in the program abroad, a fee of $2,439 - $2,649.50 will be assessed to their Bryant University account. Since the meal plan is optional and is not typical at most institutions, additional fees do not apply to every student participating in the study abroad program. Meal plan charges will not be on your initial billing statement. If Bryant is notified by the host institution of meal plan enrollment and/or additional fees, an updated E-Bill will be sent to the student at their Bryant University e-mail address.

Home-stay Accommodations:  A student will be assessed a meal plan fee of $2,439 - $2,649.50 to their Bryant University account if they are receiving 2-3 meals per day in their home-stay accomodations.  Meal plan charges will not be on your initial billing statement.  If Bryant is notified that your home-stay includes 2-3 meals per day, then you wil be notified via your Bryant University e-mail address that an updated Electronic Bill (E-Bill) is ready for viewing.

Additional Fees

Additional fees are any supplemental costs of the program. These fees are estimates based on fees charged to past participants. They are not actual amounts and are subject to change. Such costs may include but are not limited to: VISA processing fee, health insurance, life insurance, cell phones, health club memberships, etc.

Study Abroad Surcharge: If the total charge at the host institution abroad exceeds the comparable charges at Bryant University, a surcharge will be assessed to a student account in the amount equal to the difference between the two costs.

All study abroad billing inquiries should be addressed to the Bryant University Bursar's Office at (401) 232-6030. Please Note: Students will initially be billed the Bryant University rates. Once Bryant University is billed by the host institution, any appropriate adjustments are made to the student's account at that time and an updated billing statement will be emailed to the student.
