Other Financial Considerations

Lab & Field Trip Fees

Some direct-enroll classes may have one-off lab or field trip fees. You will be responsible for these fees, whether they are billed and paid by IFSA or billed to you.

Housing Option

Students will incur a supplemental fee if placed in George Roberts Hall $550. As George Roberts Hall includes all meals, you will not have a personal expense for meals.
