$100 Application Deposit
By submitting an application for an education abroad program, your MSU Student Account will be billed a $100 application deposit for each application. Deposit means that this will count towards the total of your program fee. For example, if your program fee total is $2,000, this $100 first deposit will discount $100 of those $2,000 leaving pending to pay $1,900.
$200 Commitment Deposit
Once you are accepted into your program you will have two weeks from the date of your acceptance letter to commit to your participation. When you commit, you will be billed an additional $200 commitment deposit to your MSU Student Account. Deposit means that this will count towards the total of your program fee. Following the example above, if your program fee total is $2,000, this $200 second deposit will discount $200 of those $2,000 leaving pending to pay $1,700 ($100+$200 deposits).
Remainder of your program fee
Once you are committed the office of Education Abroad following MSU billing cycle will bill to your student account the remainder of your program fee. Following the example above, if your program fee total is $2,000, you were billed $100, then $200, so the remainder will be $1,700, in this example.
Tuition credits
These are billed separate from your program fee, IGH fee and deposits.
Out of pocket expenses
These are the expenses that are not included in your program fee. This amount varies depending on the program.
