This budget asssumes the following:

• You will be participating in one of these programs at your current location in your host country without the need to secure additional room and board or other additional living expenses.
• You currently have both a laptop computer and a desktop computer, with all necessary hardware and software accessories, as well as high-speed access to the internet from more than one provider during the duration of your program. If you do not have an extra computer, you should make arrangements--or be able--to immediately secure another one with similar capabilities within hours in the event of an emergency. A need-based tuition credit or tuition loan may be provided to qualifying students in order to meet that requirement.
• It does not include any additional costs, including room and board, incurred by international students who may or may not be required to come to the United States in order to participate in their respective program. A need-based tuition credit or tuition loan may be provided to qualifying international students who are required to come to the US or another Western country in order to participate in their respective program. International students who prefer to come to the United States for the duration of their program may apply for a need-based tuition loan to help defray the additional costs.

* Virtual Program Support Fee includes all web-based course materials and virtualization tools to be provided/received during the duration of your program.
