APPLICATION FEE 
Upon submission of an application, the student agrees to pay a NON-REFUNDABLE USD study abroad application fee.  This will be billed via USD Student Accounts and should be paid directly to USD.

USD TUITION
Because this study abroad program is partnered with USD, students will pay USD tuition in order to potentially receive financial aid benefits (please check with USD's Office of Financial Aid). Tuition (12-18 units) is paid directly to USD.  Students will be billed via USD Student Accounts. Tuition payment is due in full 10 days prior to the program start date.  Students selecting the Early Start program option will be assessed 1,250 Euro, charged to their USD Student Account. This fee includes tuition for the Early Start course. 
 
 
ESTIMATED HOUSING & PROGRAM SUPPORT FEES (billed directly by partner abroad)
Housing costs vary depending on the type of accommodation selected and the exchange rate. 
There are two choices for accommodation at Cork: on-campus dorms or off-campus apartments, both of which are explained below.
 
On-campus housing
UCC Campus Accommodation aims to provide "a home away from home" for its international students.  It is more than just a place to eat and sleep - it provides a background for social, cultural and sporting outlets and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Most rooms are en-suite and all have 24 hour internet access. They are mostly single bedrooms, sharing living and kitchen facilities with 2-4 others. A small number of twin rooms are available. Campus Accommodation is fully furnished.  Pillows and duvets are available for purchase, at cost price, from reception. The on-campus accommodation is a 10-15 minute walk from the campus center, and a 25-30 minute walk from the city center. To book on-campus housing, you will need to complete the UCC Housing form. Housing is available based on First-Come-First-Serve.

To see the breakdown of cost per dorm, please visit the Student Accommodation page on Cork's website. 
Housing fees for on-campus housing and program support fees will be paid to UCC directly. 
Housing fees are paid independently, and will NOT be charged to your USD student account.
