Costs > CGS > Billing

Students who study abroad as Cherrington Global Scholars will be billed for the following:

  • DU Tuition
  • DU Study Abroad Housing*
  • DU Study Abroad Meals*
  • DU Technology Fee

*These charges will only be placed on a student's DU account if the program includes these items. Please keep in mind that students who pay for their own housing or meals need to estimate the cost in advance. The study abroad programs themselves and DU alumni from the same program are great resources for getting these figures. Cost of living varies by city and country, so housing and meals may cost significantly more abroad than they do in Denver.

Students will be billed according to the DU billing cycle; therefore, fall quarter invoices will be sent to the student's billing address in early August. Please note that some study abroad programs will have begun before DU issues its invoices.

Tuition for One Term: For a single DU quarter- or semester-length program abroad, students normally will pay the University of Denver one academic quarter of tuition and the University Technology Fee. If a student's term abroad on a DU program crosses over two quarters at DU (fall and winter, or winter and spring), they will be charged tuition and the University Technology Fee for the initial quarter and only the University Technology Fee for the second quarter.

Tuition for Two or More Terms: A student studying in a two-term DU program, with terms approximately equivalent to quarters, will be charged tuition and the University Technology Fee for both quarters. A student in a DU Program or succession of DU Programs for a full academic year (including an academic year as defined by a host institution that uses a wholly different calendar, as in the southern hemisphere and in Japan and Korea) will pay tuition and the University Technology Fee for three quarters.

CGS eligibility and multiple programs: The CGS benefit can be used once for the first program in which the student is eligible. Therefore, Cherrington-eligible students with permission to study in more than one DU Program will study as a Cherrington Global Scholar on the first program in which they are eligible. Cherrington-eligible students cannot opt out of using their CGS benefit on a DU program.

Note: Limits on quarter and on semester credits apply—please see Maximum Credits per Term in the Policies section of the website regarding the amount of credit that may be applied without incurring the hourly tuition rate for hours above the limits.

All students, including Cherrington Global Scholars, are responsible for their personal expenses, which include but may not be limited to those expenses that are paid by the individual student in the U.S. as well as abroad. Personal expenses include items such as: discretionary travel; local transportation; books; optional excursions; laboratory, studio and materials fees, and field study or mandatory excursion fees resulting from the student's choice of courses; personal and household items; cultural and entertainment expenses; optional fees such as recreation or health club memberships; photos, telephone, and internet access if not included in a housing agreement; usage or calling charges (either local or long distance) even when instrument or access is provided with housing; any expense for damage deposits or other personal responsibility deposits; damages, fines or penalties; housing and meals if not provided within the program; and medical out-of-pocket expenses or other medical expenses not covered by insurance.

Note: Please remember that even covered medical expenses may have to be paid at the point of service and claimed through the student's medical insurance provider.
