Payment Timeline

Jan 31:  $1,000

Mar 31: ~$1,000 (final balance due)

If you are having trouble making payments, we will work with you but you have to let us know. Otherwise, failure to make timely payments moves you to the waitlist and opens your spot to someone else.

The IPO application fee ($150.00) is non-refundable.

All other payments are refundable until a payment is made on your behalf, which will not occur until the middle of the Winter semester.

NMU can only refund monies not already sent for services.  Any money that has not been paid out for trip expenses may be refunded to you in full, including the contingency fee. 

You may cancel at any time, but the closer to departure, the higher the likelihood that your fees will have already been sent to cover trip costs.

Any non-paid balance may be applied to your NMU student account and will become subject to collection procedures.

If the program account has an excess of $25/student after all payments have been settled after the program ends, NMU will refund your equal share of that amount.

PERSONAL SPENDING

The extent of your desire to travel on your own, purchase gifts, grab drinks, visit additional sites, and otherwise engage in the excitement of Central Europe will determine this amount. 

DOCUMENTS

• You must have a passport.
• You must have an International Student Identity Card (ISIC).

AIRFARE

NMU TUITION (8 credits)
