Expenses and Financial Aid  

All students studying abroad for a semester, full academic year, or summer are still required to pay the following university fees:

Faculty Led Programs

Seton Hall offers Spring Embedded and Summer Abroad Programs, allowing students to travel abroad with a faculty member and peers for 1 to 4 weeks.
• Spring Embedded Programs: Travel during spring break or after finals, connected to a spring semester course. No additional tuition is required if taking 18 credits or less. Program fees cover travel costs included in the program. Scholarships and aid apply if within the 12-18 credit flat tuition rate.
• Summer Abroad Programs: Taught on-location abroad, often in collaboration with a local university or host family. Requires additional tuition and a program fee. Students receive a 25-50% tuition discount, but Seton Hall scholarships generally do not apply. The Seton Hall Summer Scholarship cannot be used.
• Summer Fees: Students must pay the University fee. Housing fees are determined by the host program or university. 

Semester Programs

• Tuition: For all Seton Hall Semester Abroad Programs, students continue to pay tuition to Seton Hall University at their existing tuition rate. All institutional scholarships and financial aid remain applicable. Tuition is paid through PirateNet.
• USAC Fees: For all USAC Semester Abroad Programs, Seton Hall University covers the USAC Program Fee, as well as any fees associated with USAC credit-bearing courses and internships. Students are responsible for the cost of any optional, non-credit-bearing tours or excursions.
• Housing: Students pay for housing directly to either USAC (University Studies Abroad Consortium) or the host university, depending on the housing option they select.
• University Fees: Students are required to pay the Seton Hall University Fee and the Technology Fee. Students participating in the University Laptop Program must also pay the Mobile Computing Fee unless they have already paid it for a total of four semesters. Students who are not bringing their University-issued laptop abroad must return it to the Mobile Computing Office if they have not yet fulfilled the four-semester Mobile Computing Fee requirement.
• Non-Refundable Deposit: All students approved for a Semester Abroad Program are required to submit a $500 non-refundable deposit through the Study Abroad Portal to secure their nomination. The deposit is applied as a $500 credit toward the student's Seton Hall tuition bill for the semester abroad. If a student withdraws from the program after being nominated to the host campus, the $500 tuition credit will be removed from their tuition bill, and the non-refundable deposit will not be refunded.

Pre-Departure Expenses

Students should budget for additional pre-departure costs, which may need to be paid before scholarships or financial aid are disbursed:
• Passports: Must be valid for at least six months after the program ends. Click here for more information. 
• Application Fees and Deposits: Seton Hall does not charge an application fee, but third-party providers may. Seton Hall programs require a non-refundable deposit that goes towards the cost of the overall program fee. Some providers require a non-refundable deposit. 
• Visa and Consular Fees: Some countries require a visa, which may involve an in-person consulate visit. Contact your provider or host institution for details.
