BILLABLE EXPENSES
These are the charges that will appear on the Bentley student account in Workday.  Bentley-approved study abroad programs follow the Bentley home school tuition policy.               

Bentley bills $175 for international insurance. Your insurance will be provided by CIEE. The $300 additional program cost is CIEE's participation confirmation fee.

NON BILLABLE EXPENSES
Students pay “non-billable” expenses independently.  These expenses are not billed by Bentley.  The non-billable expenses included here are ESTIMATES.  Many of these expenses will vary based on personal preferences and local factors. Consult materials provided by the host university or program, and speak with your study abroad advisor for more details.

OTHER ESTIMATED EXPENSES
Students are responsible for the cost of their flights between each block location.  Costs will vary depending on how many locations the student studies in and how far they must travel.  

PERSONAL EXPENSES
The total amount varies depending on the student's spending habits and needs. Personal expenses may include, entry/exit fees, residency fees, activity/student union fees, optional tours, excursions, and/or volunteer activities, utilities/internet, cell phone/SIM Card, etc.

HOUSING
Bentley does not bill housing fees for this program. Students select housing with CIEE and are responsible for making housing payments directly to the provider. Housing costs will vary depending on location and blocks.  Students should check the CIEE website to see how much each location's housing costs.

STUDENT VISA EXPENSES
Depending on your block destination, length of stay, and home country, you may not need a student visa.
