Notes:
Budget estimate based on Spring 2023 fees (Updated 10/10/22)
For dates: January 24 - May 6, 2023**

1. Housing & Included Meals: Students who opt for and are placed in single-occupancy rooms will be billed a supplemental fee of approximately $1000 after the program starts.
 
2.  Local Transportation: Figure for the cost of a taxi to airport on departure. A local transportation pass is included in program fee.

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. Click here for more information on securing a passport.

4.  Additional Meals: Meal costs vary by housing type. The figure above is for those staying in Student Apartments or Residence Halls. Students in Homestays should budget $550 for additional meals costs, since 2 meals/day are included in this housing option. Additionally, students who opt for and are placed in single-occupancy rooms will be billed a supplemental fee of approximately $1000, 4-6 weeks after the program starts.

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.

Pre-departure and on-site COVID Test testing requirements depend upon your destination requirements entry. Your program should inform you of any requirements before your departure. COVID-19 testing costs vary based on the type of test and the testing facility and may be free with proof of insurance or under a federal program for the uninsured. See a list of U.S. COVID-19 testing locations for more information.

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 program options and personal plans. The Financial Aid Office utilizes this cost estimate when approving scholarships, grants and student loans for use when studying away from campus. All of the above expenses with the exception of independent travel and personal expenses may be used in configuring your financial aid package. Once you are admitted, you may contact the Financial Aid Office with questions regarding your financial aid package.
