Student Billing


In the past, faculty were required to provide certain student information (name, UIN, major, etc) to facilitate student billing. Now that SEHD has partnered with Education Abroad, this is no longer required. Education Abroad will create a student application portal for all approved faculty-led programs, which will collect all necessary student information. Education Abroad will also handle all student billing issues.

If faculty are approached by students asking questions regarding student billing, they may contact their Education Abroad liaison or direct the student to contact Education Abroad themselves. If faculty are approached by students concerned about financial support options for the program, they can direct students to contact us.
