Registration and Payment Processes

Registration Process

How do I know which coursework I need to register for?

Courses that are offered for the study-abroad programs will be made available in the program specific information.

If you do not see a course that you are interested in taking listed in the program information, you should speak directly with the faculty program coordinator to determine if this course will be offered.

If you are uncertain about which coursework you should take from the options available, you should speak with your academic adviser, Study-Abroad coordinator or the International Education Office to discuss the best fit for your degree program.

How do I register for the coursework?

Some programs require special permits to register for coursework. It is advisable to list the coursework you intend to take on your study-abroad application and to speak with the faculty program coordinator to discuss the registration process before trying to register through Self-Service.

Once you have spoken with the faculty coordinator of the program, log in to APSU Self-Service to register for the coursework, validate and confirm your registration.

Registration requirements:

• You must be registered for APSU coursework to participate in any APSU Study-Abroad program. Students that are not registered at the time of departure for the program will not be allowed to participate in the program and will be responsible for any additional expenses resulting from their removal from the program.
• If you fail to confirm or validate your coursework, your classes will be dropped after the mandatory drop period. Students with coursework that is not validated or confirmed are not permitted to participate in the APSU Study-Abroad programs and will be responsible for any additional expenses resulting from their removal from the program.

Payment Process

Study-Abroad program payments are divided into two categories.

1. Tuition and fees

All tuition and fees for APSU coursework completed in study-abroad programs should be paid into your student account as they are normally paid for on-campus courses. You can make payments online through Self-Service or make payments at the Browning Business Office Cashier’s Window. Tuition and fees should NOT be paid into the Study-Abroad Agency Account.

2. Study-Abroad program fees

All study-abroad program expenses including application fees, housing, travel, meals, excursions, etc. are paid into the Study-Abroad Program Agency Account. This amount should NOT be paid to your student account. You must pay the study-abroad program expenses at the Browning Business Office Cashier’s window. You cannot pay the study-abroad program expenses online or directly to the APSU faculty coordinator.

Payment requirements:

• Students are required to pay in full for program fees prior to the deadline dates established by the study-abroad program. Failure to do so can result in removal from the program. Expenses that cannot be refunded to the study-abroad program including travel, housing and other arrangements will be charged to the student.
• Tuition payments must be received by the deadline date established by the program and no later than the university’s mandatory drop period established for non-payment of tuition. If a student’s courses are dropped due to nonpayment or failure to confirm or validate courses, then the student may be removed from the study-abroad program. Certain expenses including travel, housing and other arrangements that cannot be refunded to the study-abroad program will be charged to the student.
• If you have any questions about tuition or program fee payments, please contact the Office of International Education for assistance.
