Study Abroad
After a student commits to a program, tuition and fees, plus health insurance (if applicable), payable to Barnard, are due by August 1, 2026, for the Fall 2026 semester, or by December 1, 2026, for the Spring 2027 semester. However, if you wish Barnard to pay your tuition abroad before these dates, we require that your invoice be resolved earlier. Barnard will not be able to pay your tuition aborad until the Barnard bill has been settled in full.
The student is responsible for paying all other costs (housing, board, other fees, etc.) directly to the institution abroad at the rates specified by the institution.
