Budget estimate based on Fall 2022 fees (Updated 3/31/2022)
For tentative dates September 6 - December 17, 2022 **
1. Housing & Included Meals: Homestays includes four meals per week; no meals are included for students in the dormitory option.
2. Visa: Figure includes consular fees ($212) and onsite visa change/extension fee ($150). This includes the cost of the required medical/physical exam at a designated Chinese Hospital; for academic year students or for those that do not receive a multiple entry visa or a visa to cover the duration of the program pre-departure.
3. Passport: The estimated cost above includes the $60 fee for expedited service. Due to COVID-19 and its impact on the U.S. Postal Service, the U.S. State Department is currently experiencing delays in receiving passport applications with routine processing service estimated to take as long as 11 weeks. We, therefore, recommend that students send their application using USPS’ Priority Mail Express and consider requesting expedited service if you able.

4. Additional Meals: The out-of-pocket cost of additional meals varies by housing type. The figure above is for students in dormitory housing; homestay students may spend less as they are typically invited to family meals four times during the week.
5. COVID-19 Testing Costs: Cost for COVID-19 testing in China is currently required for re-entry to the U.S. for all travelers. Students may incur costs for other pre- and post-arrival COVID tests in their host country as well. Please see Department of State COVID country specific information for updated entry and exit testing requirements.
Please note you may have additional expenses related to required or recommended immunizations. The Wofford College Office of International Programs urges you to consult your program materials, the Centers for Disease Control website, and your healthcare provider to assess such needs.
Your actual costs will vary from this estimate prepared by the Office of International Programs. Please compare this estimate to the information that you receive from your program and personalize it based on your chosen housing, course options and travel plans. The Financial Aid Office utilizes this cost estimate when approving scholarships, grants and student loans for use when studying away from campus.
