How much does the trip cost?
Travel costs for the trip are $2,100. This does not include the cost of the three-credit tuition that must be paid separately.
When can I pay my first deposit?
Once your application packet is approved by Professor Berbrick, you will receive an e-mail letting you know you can pay your deposit. Please review the Registration and Payment Information Checklist for additional important information.
Why can't I register for the class and make my second payment until March?
Since this is a summer course, you are unable to register until Summer Registration opens. You cannot make your second payment until you are registered and billed for the course, otherwise it will create an issue with your account and may result in you being sent a refund.
