Orientation A specially-designed orientation program, conducted during the semester immediately prior to departure, is intended to prepare participants for the adjustment to living and studying in France. Attendance at all orientation sessions is mandatory. Costs Tuition charges for the program are the same as the University Park Campus and are payable at the Bursar's Office in accordance with the standard procedures and deadlines for regular charges at the University Park Campus. Students will pay for room and meal costs on site. Round-trip air and ground transportation is an additional cost to the student.
Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements.
Textbooks and personal expenses are extra. The International Education office has a cost sheet that estimates the overall expenses for each semester. Since students remain registered at Penn State while enrolled in this program, the standard forms of financial aid continue as normal. The International Education office coordinates closely with the Office of Student Aid to help needy students obtain funds to cover the additional costs associated with study abroad. All participants are required to carry sufficient health and accident insurance.
