Tuition Fees:

Student tuition fees are based on the courses that students take each module. Textbook and living expenses are not included. Please refer to the Declaration of Finance form for estimated figures related to living expenses and costs for books. Students will receive tuition bills for each module approximately three weeks after the beginning of each module. Students who can not complete the entire program because of a change in their plans will not be charged for the courses which they do not take. This program will run for eleven months. Students in the Study Abroad Program may begin in September or January and finish eleven months later. They may spend their remaining time in the United States on independent travel.

Housing:

The English Language Center will provide information to successful applicants about the procedures for reserving dormitory accommodations. The English Language Center can also provide information about homestays with American families on request.

Insurance

Students at the English Language Center are entitled to free use of the University Health Center. They are also required to have a comprehensive Medical Insurance Plan in the event of emergency medical needs or hospitalization. Students may decide to use their own insurance policy. They must provide proof of this policy when they register. For more information about health insurance for international students, please refer to the English Language Center website: www.spcs.neu.edu/elc.
