As a student from a University of Minnesota campus, you are eligible to participate on most programs offered by another U of M campus. It is your responsibility to communicate with both your home and your host campus and to understand their policies and procedures. Plan to work with both your host and home campus throughout the process of applying for a study abroad program.
The information below offers some answers to frequently asked questions about registration, financial aid, billing and payments.

| Home Campus (the campus you usually attend) |
Host Campus (the campus offering the study abroad program) |
|
| Registration | The Registrar or Study Abroad office on your home campus will enroll you in a placeholder class. This class will appear on your U of M transcript. Do not drop this class. The placeholder class allows your financial aid to disburse (if applicable) and keeps your student status active. Your home campus policy determines the type of credit (resident or transfer) you will receive for your study abroad program. |
The host campus Registrar or Study Abroad office will register you for your study abroad courses (or will instruct you how to self-register via the web). Study abroad courses may be a placeholder for the total number of credits you will take abroad or may be the actual courses you will take abroad. Do not drop these courses. |
| Financial Aid | Your financial aid is processed by your home campus. Financial aid disburses to your home campus student account as it would if you were studying on campus. To view financial aid payments disbursed to your student account, login using the links below. You are responsible for securing the release of your financial aid to you (via direct deposit or check) in order to pay your bill on your host campus student account. |
N/A - All financial aid is processed through your home campus. You are ineligible for financial aid at the host campus. |
| Billing | N/A - No charges for study abroad are assessed by your home campus. | You are billed for all study abroad-related tuition and fees through the host campus billing process. Charges and payments will appear on your account for the host campus. This is a separate account from your home campus student account. To view charges on your host campus account, login using the links below. You must pay charges to this host campus account, preferably through UM Pay, the electronic billing and payment system. |
| Payments | N/A - Payments should be made to the host campus (unless you have other non-study abroad charges on your home campus account as well). | Payments are due to the host campus for study abroad charges. Use the links below to login to UM Pay and make a payment or to authorize another individual to pay your account charges. |
| UM Pay (ebilling & epayments) | N/A - You will not receive an e-bill notice from your home campus unless you have other non-study abroad charges on your student account. | You will receive an e-bill notification from the host campus to your official University email address. You may elect to forward your University email to another account. Pay your study abroad charges by logging into the U of M Pay site on the Host campus' login page. |
| Orientation | If your home campus is the Twin Cities, you will be invited to a mandatory pre-departure orientation on health and safety, financial aid/ registration/billing, and academic planning. |
Your host campus will generally offer an orientation to the specifics of how to prepare for and what to expect on your program abroad. Plan ahead to attend this orientation. |
| U of M email account | Continue to use your home campus email account throughout the study abroad process. Both campuses will use your home campus email account to communicate important information. | N/A - You will not be issued a new email account for your host campus. |

**Remember, you will receive a bill for your study abroad program from the campus hosting your program ("host" campus). You will receive financial aid from your regular campus ("home" campus), if applicable. You need to check your student account from your Home campus to see any financial aid disbursements and your student account on your Host campus to view/pay your bills or pay using UM Pay on the host campus.
If you are a financial aid and/or scholarship recipient, any amount you owe in your home campus student account will be automatically paid at the time funds are disbursed to that account. You must use any remaining financial aid in your home student account to pay your host campus charges billed by the campus hosting your study abroad program. Do not use any financial aid credit balance for any other expenses until charges from both campus accounts are paid in full.
Your Host and Home accounts are not linked. Financial aid and/or scholarships disbursed to your home campus account will not automatically pay your host campus charges. You are responsible for securing the release of your home campus funds and paying your host campus charges.
To ensure timely, secure payments and/or to receive any credit balance quickly, we recommend that you set-up automated direct deposit of the financial aid remaining in your home campus student account (your credit balance) into a personal bank checking or savings account. You may do so at Online Direct Deposit. With this step, you will be prepared to use your remaining financial aid to pay the amount due to your host campus student account. Using the UMPay system, you may elect to have funds withdrawn from your personal bank account to be applied to your bill on your host campus.
