Tuition

I am an exchange student visiting AV俱乐部

Your tuition fees are paid to your home university. Because you do not pay your fees to AV俱乐部, you will recieve a tuition waiver.

Tuition waiver
Because you pay tuition fees to your home university, you will receive a tuition waiver in September (fall term), January (winter term), or during the summer term. This waiver will be processed early in the term, but it may not appear on your account statement until later that month.

 

I am on a study abroad program visiting AV俱乐部

If you are at AV俱乐部 full time or for a study abroad program where your home university is not on the list of AV俱乐部's exchange partners, you are responsible for paying all your tuition fees to AV俱乐部. 

Paying your fees
All the details regarding your account balance can be accessed through .

  • Find your account statement under Web for Students, and Student Records.
  • Outstanding balances must be paid by late September or January to avoid interest and related fees. Payment deadlines apply.
  • Fee payment instructions for paying online in your home currency can be found on the Student Accounts website.

Visit Student Accounts to ensure that all your university fees are up to date or simply to ask questions.
