Payment Policies

Total Program Fees

The total amount of fees due for your Global Semesters (GS) program are shown on the invoice that is emailed to you after admission:

  • Program Fees
  • Refundable Damage Deposits
  • Housing Supplements (if Any)
  • Technology or Lab Fees (if Any)

Full payment of your total fee amount is needed by the Final Payment Date. You will not be considered enrolled in the program and will not be able to attend the program if your fees are not paid in full by the Final Payment Date.

Final Payment Dates are as follows:

Spring – November 15th
Summer – March 15th
Fall – June 15th

If you do not pay by the Final Payment Date, you risk forfeiting your spot on the program, and being withdrawn from the program.

Confirmation Deposit

Your Confirmation Deposit is required to secure your place on the program. We cannot guarantee your place on the program until your Confirmation Deposit is received.

The Confirmation Deposit is $1,000 for Semester Programs and $250 for Summer Programs.

There are multiple deadlines for Confirmation Deposits for semester programs. Please see your enrollment material for the deadlines applicable to your program.

You can save as much as $500 on your total program fees if we receive your semester Confirmation Deposit before the first deadline.

Confirmation Deposits for summer programs are due upon application and are required for us to process your application.

Please Note:

  • Deadlines for Confirmation Deposits reflect when we receive your deposit, not when you send it.
  • The Confirmation Deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances.

Refundable Damage Deposit

You are responsible for paying a refundable damage deposit of $250 per program.

This deposit will be refunded to you after the program is completed and a damage assessment has been made.

Damage to the housing, hotels, buses or other venues, unpaid balances such as overdue library books, damage or loss of cell phones, lost keys, excessive utility charges, excessive cleaning charges and other damages or charges incurred by you will be deducted from the damage deposit.

All roommates will be held equally liable for damage done to housing that cannot be assigned to a specific individual.

In the event that damages left outstanding at the end of a program exceed the Refundable Damage Deposit, GS reserves the right to withhold your transcript until the outstanding damage balance has been paid.

Refundable Damage Refunds will be mailed to the permanent US address you provided at the time of your enrollment, after all damage assessments are made. This could take between 6 and 12 weeks post-program. Refunds can only be mailed to US mailing addresses and cannot be wire-transferred.

Program Fee Changes

GS reserves the right to change the price of any program at any time. You are responsible for paying the fees that were in effect at the time that your deposit was paid. Otherwise, you will be subject to the fees in place at the time that you make your deposit payment.

Outstanding Balances

If you do not make your full payments by the Final Payment date, you may be withdrawn from the program, and/or assessed a late fee, and/or held responsible for any program costs already incurred by GS on your behalf.

If, for any reason, you incur an outstanding balance after the Final Payment date, even if you are already abroad at the time, you will be responsible for paying the outstanding balance within three weeks or you will be withdrawn from the program.

Withdrawal will include withdrawal from the host university,program housing and program activities. You will remain responsible for all program fees, will not receive a refund of your fees paid or damage deposit and will not receive a transcript.

GS reserves the right to transfer any outstanding balance to a collections agency which might cause additional charges to be assessed and might negatively impact your credit rating.

Withdrawal and Refund Policy

2. The application fee ($50) and confirmation deposit ($1,000 for Semester Programs, $250 for Summer Programs) are non-refundable under any circumstances.

Course availability cannot be guaranteed by GS under any circumstances, as host institutions might change their course offerings. No refund will be paid for changes in program operations assuming that GS provides arrangements that are, in GS’ sole judgment, similar to those originally described.

8. GS will not be responsible for extreme events not under our reasonable control such as acts of God, war, riots, civil unrest, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of disease, natural disasters and other events that might cause us to cancel or modify an in-progress program at our discretion. Global Semesters will not be liable in such circumstances for failure or delay in providing any contracted services and will not refund program fees or other expenses incurred by program participants.

Program Changes

1. You can change between programs in the same term without penalty before the Final Withdrawal Date, assuming that there is availability in the program that you are changing into.

  • You will not receive a refund for the difference in fees if the program that you are changing into has lower program fees than the program that you are transferring from

These fees are applicable each time you make a program change. You are responsible for making any arrangements needed with your home institution and your financial aid office (if applicable) to notify them of the change in program.
