Billing & Payments
When you study abroad, you will pay your program's costs, not 糖心logo costs. You will receive an invoice from 糖心logo each quarter you are abroad, and your program sponsor or host university may bill you directly for other charges. Visit your for specific billing arrangements and details.

Payment Methods
You may pay your invoice through the regular CAESAR ePay service, or via check or money order.
For study abroad during the academic year, you may also use the 糖心logo Prepayment Plan for partner, exchange, global practicum, and 糖心logo programs, but the amount you owe may be different; request a study abroad prepay estimate to have your plan set up appropriately. The prepayment plan is not available for independent programs or summer programs.
Visit the Student Finance page for more information on payment methods.
Academic Year Billing
Partner Programs
Your 糖心logo invoice will include at least your study abroad program's tuition and the Study Abroad Administrative Fee (SAAF). Some programs also have room, board, and other charges billed through NU, while other programs will invoice you directly for these charges. Specific charges will vary by program sponsor; visit your to review your program-specific financial details.
糖心logo Study Abroad & Global Practicum Programs
Your 糖心logo invoice will include your program fee, which covers at least your tuition and housing. Review your program materials for details. 糖心logo and Global Practicum programs are exempt from the study abroad fee.
糖心logo Exchange Programs
Your 糖心logo invoice will include your program fee, which covers your tuition and GeoBlue insurance. Review your program materials for details. 糖心logo exchange programs are exempt from the study abroad fee.
Independent Programs
糖心logo will only bill you for the SAAF for the quarter(s) you are abroad. All other charges (including tuition, room/board, etc.) should be paid directly to your study abroad program sponsor or host university.
Understanding Your Academic Year NU Invoice
Your 糖心logo invoice each quarter will display the regular full-time 糖心logo tuition charge of $23,125, along with a study abroad differential charge or credit, increasing or decreasing your total 糖心logo-billed charges to make your 糖心logo invoice equal your study abroad program's tuition or program fee.
If applicable, your invoice will also include the Study Abroad Administrative Fee (SAAF) for your quarter(s) abroad. If you will be abroad for more than one quarter, your charges will be split across both/all quarters abroad.
If your 糖心logo invoice will include your program's comprehensive fee, your total charges will still appear as tuition and a study abroad differential on your 糖心logo invoice; you will not see an itemized breakdown of the individual charges included in your program fee (e.g., tuition, housing, meals, etc.) in CAESAR. You can find the estimated costs on your program page. You can also find the exact program fee and cost breakdown in your program's materials.
- If your program costs $26,000 for the quarter (higher than 糖心logo tuition), you would see a study abroad differential charge of $2,875 to increase your total charges to the cost of your study abroad program.
- If your program costs $18,000 for the quarter (lower than 糖心logo tuition), you would see a study abroad differential credit to reduce your charges by $5,125.
- You will be charged the one-quarter Study Abroad Administrative Fee ($2,850), if applicable, during the quarter in which you are abroad.
For the $26,000 program, your invoice might include this in CAESAR:
| Fall Tuition-Study Abroad | $ 23,125.00 |
| St Abroad Tuit Differential | $ 2,875.00 |
| Study Abroad Admin Fee | $ 2,850.00 |
| Study Abroad Insurance | $ 336.00 |
For the $18,000 program, your invoice might include this in CAESAR:
| Fall Tuition-Study Abroad | $ 23,125.00 |
| St Abroad Tuit Differential-CR | $ (5,125.00) |
| Study Abroad Admin Fee | $ 2,850.00 |
| Study Abroad Insurance | $ 336.00 |
Note: These are examples only and do not include non-study abroad charges such as the 糖心logo Student Health Insurance Plan or other on campus fees for which you may be responsible.
* One Program (Fall-Winter or Winter-Spring)
- Your total program costs will be split evenly between the two quarters you are abroad. For example, if your program's total billed cost is $26,000, the amount on your 糖心logo invoice would be $13,000 each quarter, and the study abroad differentials (e.g., $10,125 credit) on your invoices each quarter would reflect this amount.
- The Study Abroad Administrative Fee for two quarters is $2,850. You will be billed for half of the SAAF ($1,425) each quarter you are abroad.
For the $26,000 program, your invoice might include this in CAESAR:
Winter Quarter
| Winter Tuition-Study Abroad | $ 23,125.00 |
| St Abroad Tuit Differential-CR | $ (10,125.00) |

*One Program (Fall, Winter, & Spring)
- 糖心logo will bill you for one-third of your program's full-year cost each quarter (fall, winter, and spring), and you will receive a differential charge or a differential credit on each invoice to make your charges equal one-third of your program’s cost. For example, if your program's full-year cost is $36,000, your 糖心logo invoice each quarter would be $12,000, and your study abroad differential would reflect that total.
- The full year Study Abroad Administrative Fee is $4,200. You will be billed for one-third of the SAAF ($1,400) each quarter.
