Financial aid transfer
The process of applying Clark-based financial aid to study abroad program costs
Personal expenses
Out-of-pocket costs that students are responsible for while abroad, including food, local transportation, airfare, personal travel, visa fees, books, supplies, and other daily living costs. These expenses are separate from billed tuition, administrative fees, or program housing costs and must be planned for individually.
Program Provider
An external organization or company that coordinates study abroad programs, housing, excursions, and student support on behalf of or in partnership with Clark.
Study abroad fee
A $2,000 fee billed to the student’s Clark account each semester abroad. This fee covers essential services such as transcript processing, enrollment in international health insurance, registration in the AlertTraveler risk management system, and overall administrative support provided by the Clark Study Abroad Office.
Tuition exchange
An arrangement that allows eligible students from participating institutions to apply their home university’s tuition benefits toward study at a partner institution, often under formal exchange or reciprocal agreements. At Clark, tuition exchange students typically pay Clark tuition while attending the partner university abroad.
Withdrawal and refund policies
All study abroad participants are subject to the Study Abroad Refund Policy, which differs from Clark University’s general refund policy. Students who withdraw after confirming participation are responsible for any non-recoverable costs paid on their behalf, including program fees, tuition, or administrative charges. Withdrawal may also affect financial aid and result in little or no refund — in some cases, students may owe more than the cost of a regular Clark semester. Students must notify both their program abroad and the Clark Study Abroad Office in writing if they decide not to participate.
