Orientation A specially-designed orientation program, conducted during the semester prior to departure, is intended to prepare participants for the adjustment to living and studying in England. Attendance at all orientation sessions is mandatory. Tuition fees for the program are the same as at Penn State's University Park campus and are payable at the Bursar's office in accordance with the standard procedures and deadlines for regular semester charges. Students are responsible for paying for their room and board costs on-site. Round-trip air transportation is an additional cost to the student.
Students are responsible for making their own flight arrangements.
Textbooks and personal expenses are extra. International Education Programs and Studies has a cost-estimate sheet detailing the cost of attendance for the semester. Since students remain registered at Penn State while taking part in this program, most or all financial aid continues as normal. IEPS works with the Office of Student Aid to help eligible students cover additional costs associated with study abroad. Students should consult the Financial Aid Information section of our website for more information.
