NOTE: Students on this program will need to pay a confirmation deposit to the Learning Abroad Center. In addition, upon your acceptance from AustraLearn, you will also be asked to pay a $300 initial payment. Please submit this payment directly to AustraLearn, as it will reduce your total housing fee. If you decide to cancel after paying deposits to the Learning Abroad Center and AustraLearn, you are subject to both organizations' cancellation policies. Consult the Learning Abroad Center’s Cancellation Policy for more details on your financial obligations.

The Learning Abroad Center bills you for tuition, fees, and insurance. AustraLearn bills you directly for housing and meal plans. Prior to your departure, you will receive an invoice from AustraLearn for a portion of housing and meal fees, approximately $1,800. You will have the option to set up a payment plan.
