This fee allows FAU Education Abroad staff to provide a broad range of support including but not limited to 24-hour emergency response support, program development and evaluation, student scholarships, marketing and recruitment, professional development, student advising, financial planning and scholarship support, events and workshops for the FAU community, and more.
Current administrative fees are as follows:

Students studying on FAU Faculty-Led programs pay the cost of tuition directly to the Cashiers Office. Students must be enrolled for the minimum number of credits hours offered on the program.
There is also a required program fee which is generally paid to the Education Abroad Marketplace page by the deadline given upon acceptance. The program fee generally includes accommodations, some meals, in-country transportation, cultural activities, and international health insurance. Airfare may or may not be included depending on the program.
Students studying on FAU exchange programs pay FAU tuition directly to the Cashier's Office. The additional costs of studying on an exchange are paid by the student, usually to the exchange partner directly. Students pay for their own housing (unless otherwise included), meals, transportation costs, airfare, living expenses and all incidentals.
Students studying on FAU approved direct enroll or other non-FAU programs and affiliates pay tuition and programs costs directly to the institution or program provider.
CISI insurance is required for all students participating in approved education abroad programs. The cost of coverage is determined by the duration of the program. Students will be informed of their CISI financial responsibility upon acceptance into a program. More information regarding this coverage can be found on the insurance webpage.
