Study Abroad These are HUB related issues in study abroad. For all other detailed info, come to the Office of International Education, 3rd Floor Warner Hall or check out the OIE Study Abroad Website. To the Carnegie Mellon student, these differ mainly in the way that you finance your study abroad experience. Students who participate in exchange programs, sometimes called tuition exchange programs, pay Carnegie Mellon tuition and receive their regular financial aid package.
Students are responsible for room, board, travel and miscellaneous expenses.
Carnegie Mellon then distributes the tuition to the appropriate sponsor and where appropriate allocates a study abroad fund to the student for room, board, travel and educational expenses. Students who receive institutional aid from Carnegie Mellon will not be eligible for this aid while they are abroad. However, students with state and federal aid can receive this aid for study abroad. In order for federal and state aid to be used for study abroad on non-Carnegie Mellon programs, Carnegie Mellon and the host institution must sign a consortium agreement to notify the government where the aid will be going. The aid is then credited to the student's account.
