Deposit Payment Information

Students applying for a faculty-led program must submit a non-refundable deposit as part of the application process. Deposits must be received before the program’s application deadline.

Summer Application Deadline: February 1.

Please Note:

• If you participate in the study abroad program, the deposit will be applied toward the overall program cost.
• If you withdraw from the study abroad program, the deposit will not be refunded. Additionally, withdrawal fees may apply. For faculty-led programs, the withdrawal policy goes into effect as soon as the student is conditionally accepted into the program. Please review the Study Abroad Withdrawal Policy for more details.
• Please note that some programs may reach capacity before the application deadline. Submitting your application and deposit before the deadline does not guarantee acceptance.

Payments In Person

You may submit your deposit payment in person using a personal check, money order, or cashier’s check.

• A cashier’s check can be requested directly from your bank and made payable to the University of Miami.
• Money orders can be purchased from various locations, including select post offices, UPS stores, CVS stores, or Publix Customer Service.

Study Abroad strongly recommends submitting your deposit in person at the Cashiers Office, as this allows you to receive a receipt confirming payment and ensures you know exactly when the deposit is received by UM.

Payments by Mail

If you are not on campus and unable to submit in person, instructions for submitting the deposit by mail can be found here.

When paying the deposit, ensure the following:

• Checks/Money Orders/Cashier’s Checks must be made payable in the amount of $500 to the University of Miami.
• Include the student’s ID number to ensure credit to the student’s account.
• Indicate in the memo line: Study Abroad Deposit for (Term and Year of Program).
• Ensure all fields on the check or money order are completed, and the check is signed.
• If paying your deposit at the Cashiers Office, be sure to inform the cashier of the semester/term of the program to ensure your deposit is recorded correctly.
