Billing Arrangements


Billing arrangements vary per program. Please use the chart below in conjunction with the Northwestern Study Abroad list of affiliated programs to determine which charges will be billed by Northwestern University and which (if any) will be billed directly by the Sponsoring Institution.
  • Northwestern University will bill tuition and the NU Study Abroad Administrative Fee (SAAF) for all affiliated programs. Students on Exchange Programs are exempt from the SAAF.  For a number of programs, NU will bill a Program Fee, which typically includes tuition, room, board, and airfare.  Please check with your Sponsoring Institution for the components of your Program Fee.
  • For all unaffiliated programs, Northwestern University will bill only the SAAF.

The listing below shows which charges are billed by NU for our Affiliated and Exchange programs. It is organized by Sponsoring Institution, not country. For example, all affiliated programs run by IES are listed under IES.   If you have further questions regarding billing arrangements, please contact Sue Kwan, the Assistant Director for Financial Services, at (847) 491-7400 or s-kwan@northwestern.edu.
