Financial Information


Tuition

Students will pay regular tuition at Western University while on an exchange. Students may also be required to pay supplementary fees of an incidental nature at the host university (ie. computer lab, legal society, health insurance, etc.)


Placement Fee

A non-refundable exchange placement fee of $125.00 is required for all Western students participating in an exchange program. This fee is to be covered by the student and will be payable after an offer is accepted.


Financial Aid

Students who are receiving OSAP or other student loans are responsible for making necessary arrangements at the UWO Student Financial Services Office (Student Central in the new Student Services Building) before leaving on exchange.

A bursary may be available to help defray some expenses.  In past years, students who completed the on-line application form provided by Western's Student Financial Services Office were considered for a bursary.  There is no guarantee that bursaries will be provided, nor the amount that may be available.
