Education Abroad Billing
When you participate in an approved Penn State education abroad program, you will be billed through your student account - just like a term on campus.
Note: Every Penn State student must complete the required forms in LionPATH in order to remain active in the student registration system. Required forms may include consent to do business online and a financial agreement form to be submitted either annually or each semester. This applies even to students who are away on Education Abroad programs and also to students whose financial aid will cover billable expenses.
Education Abroad Bills
Bills for students participating in semester or summer education abroad programs are generated on the same timeline as regular semester bills as determined by the Penn State Office of the Bursar. Payments are made using the same procedures, deadlines, and policies as any other Penn State Bursar bill.
For those studying on an embedded program, please connect with your faculty leader to ask about how the travel fees will be collected.

Understanding Your Bursar Bill
Education abroad programs vary in cost depending on the features of the program, geographic location, program length, special excursions, and cultural activities, and other on-site services. You can access estimated budget sheets and notes on what is included on the bill by searching for your program and opening the appropriate budget sheet on the program information page.
When reviewing your program budget, please note billable versus non-billable items. The items explained here are the billable items that will be processed through students' Penn State accounts:
