• Tuition Fees:

Exchange Students shall pay tuition and other fees at AU during the Exchange Period as per the applicable tuition and fees at Ajman University (AU). No tuition fees shall be payable to the host university.

• Personal Expenses:

Exchange Students are responsible for all personal expenses incurred at the host university including visa costs, international travel, travel in the host country, housing, meals, books, equipment, consumables, hospitalization, health insurance, and other incidental expenses.

• Accommodation:

Students are responsible for making their own housing arrangements. The host university will make every effort to assist AU Exchange Students to obtain on-campus accommodation, at the students' cost. However, if on-campus accommodations are not offered, then off-campus accommodations within reasonable access to the campus will be available instead. The Host School will also provide reasonable assistance on other matters of hospitality.

• Insurance:

Outbound students are required to carry, at their own expense, adequate travel and medical insurance for the entire exchange period.

• Financial grants and scholarships:

If a student qualifies for financial aid, he/she will continue to receive financial aid as if he/she was in residence on AU’s campus.

If the student meets the eligibility criteria, he/she will automatically be nominated for AU's Outbound Exchange Student scholarship which covers 50% of the tuition fees at AU. One student per college will receive the scholarship, and there will be a round of interviews to determine the selected nominee.
