What is not included in the Program Fee?

The cost of students’ flights, course tuition, travel insurance, food and spending money, and tourist visa (if one is needed) is not included in the Program Fee. Students are responsible for paying these costs themselves. More details are below.  

  • Students are responsible for booking and paying for their own flight(s) to and from their destination city. The LA&PS Study Abroad team is not able to book flights on students’ behalf or integrate flight prices into the Program Fee.
  • Tuition is the cost of the course itself and is paid directly to York University. This is a separate cost to the Program Fee and is determined based on each student’s fee status and how many credits the course is valued at. More information about tuition costs can be found on the Financial Services website
  • All students participating in the LA&PS Summer Study Abroad Program must purchase GuardMe travel insurance. This is a separate cost and is not included in the Program Fee.  
  • Depending on the course, students will need to purchase most of their own meals and/or groceries. These costs, as well as spending money, are additional to the program fee.  
  • Some students may require a tourist visa to enter their program country. If a visa is required, it is the student’s responsibility to apply well ahead of their program start date and pay for their own visa.
