2011-2012 Semester Costs

Notes ABOUT COST

• Tuition rates are for 12 to 17 undergraduate credits.
• *Per university policy, Temple students who are considered “upper division” are charged an additional $100 tuition per semester. “Upper division” is defined as an undergraduate student with a minimum of 60 earned credits, regardless of how obtained. This policy does not affect non-Temple students.
• The housing charge includes housing for the duration of the program in accommodations arranged by the university.
• Some courses, such as courses in art, art history and communications, carry media fees which range from approximately $60-$175 per course. Students pay these fees in Japan.
• Students should budget additional funds for art/video equipment, additional health insurance, and any extensive travel outside Tokyo they plan to undertake.

Deposits, Payment Policies and Financial aid

Students admitted to TUJ must confirm admission with a non-refundable deposit of $200 within two weeks of acceptance to the program. For students choosing Temple-arranged housing, a non-refundable housing deposit of $200 is also required. Both deposits are credited to the student’s account.

Temple University invoices students for all remaining program charges, at which point final payment must be made. Financial aid vouchers and/or award letters are the only exceptions to this policy. Students who have been awarded financial aid must present evidence of such awards according to the procedure outlined in the Financial Aid Section of our web site.

More information and all payment due dates appear in the pre-departure information provided to students after acceptance.
