Students intending to make program payments with financial aid are held accountable for the full cost of the program even if they do not receive some or\u00a0all of\u00a0their anticipated aid.

Application fee amounts and policies are not negotiable. CIE accepts personal checks, money orders or cashier\u2019s checks (payable to &#8220;UW-Milwaukee&#8221; or &#8220;UWM&#8221;) and major credit\/debit cards (processed online only) for the application fee. CIE does not accept cash. There is a $20 fee for returned checks, which will be posted to PAWS. If a student is not accepted into the program or the program is cancelled, the application fee will be refunded. If a student is accepted into the program and they decline their participation, the application fee will not be refunded. If a student has not yet committed to their program and would like to defer their application to a future term, their application fee will be held until that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students manage their program fees via their PAWS account. Students will not receive a paper invoice. Payment of the balance due on PAWS may be handled online or in-person through the UWM Bursar\u2019s Office. The Bursar\u2019s Office will place an \u201cacademic hold\u201d on the records of any student whose fees are not paid in full. An academic hold will prevent students from registering, receiving grades, ordering a transcript, etc. Finance charges will accrue on any outstanding balances.

Program fees for faculty-led programs are due by the start date of the program. Program fees for short-term non-faculty-led programs will have varying due dates \u2013 please contact your program manager for further details. Program fees for semester or academic year programs are due by the start of the UWM semester, regardless of program start date. Students studying abroad for a full academic year will be charged prior to each semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All study abroad fees are posted on PAWS in categories using an &#8220;SA&#8221; (for study abroad) designation: SA: Academic Expenses (where applicable); SA: Faculty Expenses (where applicable); SA: Student Expenses; SA: Fees.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-handling-money-amp-banking-abroad\">Handling Money &amp; Banking Abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion\" data-accordion-prefix-classes=\"uwm\" data-accordion-cool-selectors=\"1\"><button class=\"uwm-p-accordion--toggle-button size-p-md\">Expand All<\/button>\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Cash, Credit Cards &amp;\u00a0Foreign Currency<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inform banks\/credit unions\/credit card companies all locations where you will be going abroad, when you will leave and for how long you will be gone.
