Program Costs

Estimated tuition, fees and additional costs of the program include:

** Subject to change depending upon the value of the Euro.

The tuition and fees charges include all application fees, tuition for two courses, and required program-sponsored trips, tours and special events. A variety of additional events will be offered on a fee-per-event basis. Information about participation in and payment for the additional events will be provided at a later date.

The tuition and fees are to be paid as follows:

An Application and non-refundable Application Fee of $250.00, and deposit verification (for St. Thomas students only) are required to begin the admission process. In addition, the Dean or Registrar of your school must send a letter certifying that you are a student in good standing (academic and disciplinary) prior to your acceptance into the Program. You will be advised of other requirements (including advice about your passport, transportation, housing, etc.) following your admission to the Program. Applicants from Villanova and University of St. Thomas are not required to submit a certificate of good standing.

THE APPLICATION FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE, UNLESS THE PROGRAM IS CANCELLED BY VILLANOVA AND ST. THOMAS.  THE FEE WILL BE CREDITED TOWARD YOUR ACTIVITIES FEE.

The balance of tuition and fees of $ 3695 will be due before the Program begins.

Payment for housing is due according to the following schedule:

All tuition and fees must be paid by personal check, cashier's check or money order, in U.S. dollars. Checks or electronic funds transfers received from your Financial Aid office will also be accepted. The cost and method of payment for course materials will be determined prior to the start of the Program.

Grades from the Summer Program will not be released until all outstanding charges have been paid in full.

If special circumstances warrant any adjustment in your payment schedule, you should communicate with the appropriate Financial Aid Office immediately.

Financial Aid

If you need financial aid funds to pay for your summer abroad in Rome, you need to contact the Financial Aid Office at your home institution as soon as possible, as that office will process your aid for the Program. If you are not a Villanova Law or St. Thomas  student, you must have your Financial Aid Office send a consortium agreement to the:

Financial Aid Office
Villanova University School of Law
299 N. Spring Mill Road
Villanova, PA 19085
Phone: 610-519-7015
Fax: 610-519-6597

Please note that it is possible that your financial aid funds may not be available until close to the start date of the Program, and some fees (e.g., Housing) is due approximately two months before the Program begins. If you need financial aid, you must request a deferment of expenses as early as possible, by letter addressed to the Villanova Financial Aid Office (for Villanova students and students from schools other than St. Thomas). Financial aid questions for St. Thomas students should be directed to Chad Nosbusch.  He can be reached at crnosbusch@stthomas.edu or 651-962-4051.

Please note that air fare may vary based on the age of the student and the air carrier. Because you will likely have to purchase your plane ticket before you receive your financial aid award, you will need to plan accordingly.  You are responsible for arranging for your transportation between the United States and Rome (Fiumicino Airport), and Fiumicino and the JCU campus. Further information about transportation between Fiumicino and JCU will be provided at a later date.
